. . . Agreed. Additionally, it helps to cut part way through the tubing at the level where it passes through the armrest then bend the stick to an inward cant about 5 degrees and reweld. That way there is less tendency for the stick to impinge on the aircraft sidewall.

. . . Would those who have used the Infinity sticks please pass on their opinions regarding this modification?  Ed Smith

 

Ed,

I just addressed this issue last week before departing on my first long (1,000 nm) cross country flight.  My right stick was fine but the left one hit the fuselage.  Instead of cutting and rewelding it we adjusted the crossover shorter to cant both sticks inward, and then adjusted just the right stick back to where is was.  Bingo - both sticks clear and it took less than an hour.
