Pitts S-2A Rear Control Stick

[Danny Sorensen]

My son is going to need to replace the rear control stick on his Pitts S-2A at the next annual. There is an AD that requires tedious inspections by removing the paint and looking for cracks at the base. If anyone has a control stick available please let me know. I have a rear control stick for an S-2B but it is not the same. I haven't checked with Aviat yet, but I am sure it will be an over-the-top price.

I should have mentioned that the original stick is made with .035" tube and the upgrade with .065" tube. The lighter tube tends to crack at the base.

Thanks,
Danny
