I finally found the rivets in the control wheel. Some jury-rigged
approach plate holder secured with wads of electrical tape were
obscuring the connection area. I think that upgrade is going to wait
until the next annual.

An option for your yokes would be to cover them with Plasti Dip. The yokes
on my Warrior were half-bare with the rest about to chip off at any time. I
spent a day getting the rest of the coating off and sanding the bare metal
to rough-up the surface. I applied the Plasti Dip and used a flat-head brush
to add some texture. It looks like it was powder-coated but with a grip that
is superior. Going on 5 years, it hasn't started flaking and has kept its
elasticity. Even if it does start to come off, the fix comes cheap at only
$6 per bottle. I can send pics or post on alt.binaries.pictures.aviation if
you want to see an example.

Welcome to aircraft ownership!
