Guys
Those of you who used the Infinity (military type) stick grip, do you remember how much tube did you cut to shorten your stick?
And what did you use to adapt the stick grip internal diameter (1”) to the stick tube outside diameter (7/8”)?
Regards
Carlos

Assuming you are staying with Van's panel, cut the stick such that the Infinity grip is as low as it can go (as in the bottom of the grip is touching the weld for the curved portion of the stick).
I got the adapter from Infinity - it came with the grip.

I don't remember how much was cut off, but infinity sells an adapter/spacer to make up the difference in diameter.

I think you will find that you should not take off the last 1-1.5" of the vertical part of the stick, so there is something to support the grip. The other aspect is that you need to make an elevator stop in the tail section to limit nose down elevator travel to Van's minimum of around 20 degrees. They allow a tolerance to 25 degrees, but that will have the stick grip hitting the panel no matter how short you make it. Other choice is to have the stick curved section bent to a smaller radius, but you are talking about bending heat treated chrome moly tubing with powder coating on it, so lots of ways to screw that up.

If you have an Aerosport panel, you'll want to cut it pretty short. I think I have about an inch below the grip.

I used the Tosten grip (which I like a lot for a couple of reasons - the Infinity seems great too). My panel is roughly standard. The stick with the grip definitely interfered with the panel.
I cut it a bit, can't say how much, but more was required.
I bent the sticks in a press to increase the standard curvature. Using wood blocks it was pretty easy to do but clearly one could go too far and perhaps start to buckle the sticks. Going slow and checking the clearance until it just cleared worked great. It's not hard to do. I requires a simple hydraulic press (think HF). I went and used a neighbor's press.

Thanks for your answers.
I just ordered the adapter from ACS, and now I confirmed that I should cut the tube in order to avoid the grip to hit the panel, that was what I expected.
Thanks
