If you install an Aerosport 310 panel, you probably will have interference between the grip and the panel. Also, if you opted to let the elevator travel reach its maximum angle of 25 degrees down (only 20 down is required, see first flight section), even the stock panel might interfere with a grip (especially the Tosten 8 button since it is tilted forward). The WD-1011-L/R Control Stick Bases have large tolerances concerning the angle the control stick has versus the WD-1010 Control column. If the angle is more forward, your stick will interfere more with the panel. If the angle is more rearwards, the bottom aileron pushrod bolts of the Control Stick Base will interfere with the F-1033-L/R Control Column Mounts. Also the aileron center pushrod will interfere with the tunnel side wall cutouts. Consider asking Vans for an exchange of the bases if they are too far off. The angle between the control column brass bearing and the exiting control stick should be 20 degrees up. The angle between the control column and the centerline of the bracket that holds the aileron pushrods should be 90 degrees (brass bearing and aileron pushrod bolts should be parallel). | If you install an Aerosport 310 panel, you probably will have interference between the grip and the panel.

Another issue may be that the control sticks themselves are not bent correctly, see this [https://www.facebook.com/groups/vansrv10/posts/9180342175420133/ FB thread]. | |||
* To fix the grip interference, a lot of builders bend the control stick with e.g. a hydraulic HF tube bender (don't forget to fill the tube with sand). However, then, the elevator all up position might interfere with the pilot / passenger with the seats in the front 3 notches, especially, if you opted to let the elevator travel reach its maximum angle of 30 degrees up (only 25 up is required).
