Further dual-sticks research. Found a "Hartsell-Slide-Stick" solution on the 701 builder's website (www.Zenith.Aero). The solution utilizes the std 701 Y-Yoke, but adds a horizontal bar across the top to which L-shaped "handles" are welded into position where a normal dual-stick would be positioned. Seems to be the best solution.
Modified the kit Y-yoke with the horizontal bar welded wit adjustment bolt (AN3). The L-angle grips have 4 holes drilled ~3/4" apart for adjusting the position of the gip to suit the pilot/co-pilot.
The 6" of the vertical rod of the std Y-yoke was removed and is replace by a 6061T6 tube fitting inside the yoke pieces and is also drilled with several holes 3/4" apart to adjust the height of the sick to suit the pilot/co-pilot.
