Spent time trying to determine the proper length of the pilot stick and grip orientation on the stick. Need to make sure the orientation is correct since it will not be adjustable after drilling the 7/16” holes for the stick grip. Tried to compare it to the copilot stick, but since it's not removable the lengths will be different to achieve the same height on the cockpit. Tested out my new step drill bit on some scrap tubing and it worked fairly well with some drilling oil. I plan to use a single or double leg spring pin to hold the copilot stick securely in place. As an added plus it came with a new center punch which I needed.
