Default LXNav Remote Stick Installation in a ASW 20B

Hello,

I wish to install an LXNav remote stick in my ASW 20B to work with my LXNav 8000 flight computer. I would like to know if anyone in this group has experience with a remote stick in an ASW 20 or any AS glider. I would like to ask about their impressions of the remote stick's use and installation. Specifically, on installation, my ASW20 has a trim trigger mounted on the stick and I want to know if this trim trigger will create a problem during installation. Also, are there any issues with routing the remote stick's wiring through the hollow joystick? If any of you have any insight or experience with remote stick installation and use I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks,

Deming


I just checked with Cumulus soaring yesterday on compatibility of the Lxnav stick with an asw27b with trim trigger. They reported that there is no cut-out for the trigger, and they might ship the stick with the bottom collar not glued in so the owner could fit it up. But if the collar is then glued in, is the stick now permanent? How are the edges of the stick dressed where the trim trigger hole is cut? I think they are covered in leather... I didn't have ready solutions for these issues, so I cancelled my order... I would love to hear a success story on Lxnav stick and ASW27.
