I'm going to have Six Pack Aero replace the factory original control yokes with new ones from Cessna.

The new Cessna yokes are a better fit when compared to the originals.

They'll easily bolt into place with the new shaft-to-yoke adapters (a separate Cessna part number).

I strongly considered the Avion Research yokes, but I'm of the opinion that they're too big for a 172 flight deck.

They'd look fine in a 182.

They're too heavy and they look out-of-scale when fashioned in front of the instrument panel.

An Avion Research yoke weighs 2.7 pounds. The new Cessna yoke and adapter tipped the scale at 1.7 pounds.

Certainly, the new Cessna yokes will enhance the new panel!

Thanks for posting, Bryant.

I'm in the planning stages of my HDX install for my 182 and love seeing how others are getting it done.

Keep the updates coming!!
