I'm installing my new Infinity grip in my RV-7A and it appears the hole in the bottom of the control stick may not be big enough for the rather large cable from the Infinity grip to pass through and still have room for the two rod-end bearings that attach to the bottom of the control stick. Did anyone else have this problem? What was your solution? It appears I may need to drill a hole in the control stick for the cable to exit.

Be careful drilling a hole down low for the cable exit. Control sticks
have been known to break where the hole is. If you decide to go that
route, weld a washer to the stick (make it fit the curve) to strengthen it.

I welded a short piece of 4130 tubing at the cable exit and another to reverse the cable direction.

Yep, that's what you have to do. I had actually more than one exit hole from what I remember. Just drill a hole, fish the wires through, and install a grommet.
