I have a variation of the wooden control stick debate. Years ago I had apassenger board at a charity event and I was worried about his motivations.It went well, but I immediately sawed of the front stick and inserted abroom stick so I could remove the front stick easily. This came in handywhen filling the front passenger compartment full of gear on long X-C.Last year a biplane crashed because they believe a passenger in the frontcollapsed and forced the stick forward. I decided the best solution wouldbe to make the same change I had already made except use balsa instead.This way I could leave in the stick for the passenger to use, but if he/shetried to overpower me, I would win because the front stick would break away.Just a thought.Ted Brousseau________________________________________________________________________________
