Don't forget about clearance to your seats with full nose-up stick. I cut on both ends of mine for clearance to switches/panel. Now, the seats really can't be positioned in the very forward position. Which is fine for me, but I've already been in a few situations where passenger pilots couldn't really use the rudder pedals very well.
Redoing the sticks is on my list of things I'd like to fix in the near future.
Also, I have the "Ultimate Gust Lock". The fitting that is permanently attached to the stick doesn't help with the clearance problem. It digs into the seats if they are slid too far fwd. Don't get me wrong, I like the gust lock. Just want to mention that too.
