Side stick plans

[Lou]

Does anyone know where I can get plans for building my control stick on
the side instead of in between my legs. My plans call for in between
the legs and I would like to look at other options. The problem is I
can buy a full set of plans but which one? Anyone have an idea?

What airplane are you building? It will make a difference.

Nice looking airplane Lou. But a quick Google search doesn't come up with
much info on it. Is there a builder's group for it? That might be your best
place to look.

The Zenith 601 series is a side stick that is mounted between the seats. You
might go over to zenithair.com to see if that might work for you.

Does not the design of the sidestick depend on the aircraft it will be
used in?

John, if i understood your question then yes, but I'm looking for ideas
to adapt to my plane.
I could buy the Cozy plans but I'm looking to not spend a bunch of
money for the whole set of plans just to get this part that may or may
not work.

And you may not be able to simply adapt plans from one aircraft to another.
