Michael, I had the problem, and 'solved' it by cutting the grip portion
of the stick away from the curved portion, and then rotating it back
(towards the pilot) aprox 20 degrees and then haveing it rewelded.

Michael,
Out of curiosity, are you using the stock van's panel or one of the
aftermarket panels?
Best Regards,

Patrick,
yes I do, the strange thing is that the stick only interferes on the pilot side ( about 1 inch) but not on the co-pilot side. I got to check again if I installed everything correctly.
I am not sure if I might be able to adjust the max full forward travel by adjusting the rod end bearings on the push rods.

I have an alternate panel and had the same problem. I used the same
procedure that Scott Schmidt has on his site. (cut the stick, added about an
inch and canted it downward a little. Also, my pilot side contacted the
panel more than the co-pilot side.

Mine do, so I made them angle towards the center of the panel (about 35 degrees). This helped a lot and they barely reach the panel now. I also like having the grips at an angle as they fit the normal angle of my wrist. One of my many RV buddies, Bob Kaufman flies right seat and he didn't complain about the angle of the stick grip while he was putting 5-7 hours on my -10.
I also use an ergonomic angled keyboard for the same reason and when I go to my laptop keyboard it feels weird.
