Here are some aircraft known to have side-stick controls mounted. Below is Doug Kanczuzewski's (N77LY) aileron cable setup for his sticks.

Doug Kanczuzewski Installation

Here are some pictures of my side stick set up. I run the long cables from the connection at the center up by the canard to the aileron bell crank, one cable each side. The worst turn is the bend from the canard down the side of the center tunnel to the floor, it is a 90 degree turn, but I have kept it to a large radius.

The aileron cables, left and right, are attached above the canard.

This is the connection at the end of the control stick that works the canard. Tough to get a lot of photos as most of it is buried.

Here is a photo of the cable run up the co-pilot side.
