I am planning to have a removable copilot
stick and rudder/brake pedals. It will make it easier for the copilot
(sometimes me, sometimes my wife) to stretch out, relax and not hit anything.
I am also planning to have a 2-speed or
adjustable speed pitch trim. The trim speed you need for landing or coarse
level off, is not the speed you need to get set up level in cruise.
Comments/suggestions welcome

Actually I was thinking a single center-mounted stick and side
throttles to
make entry and exit easier, especially for my wife who isn't as limber as I.
I was considering making the copilot stick removable. Might be easier
to engineer than a center stick but not as elegant.
