just curious, what all general aviation planes are there that have side control sticks?

You mean like all Cirrus, TTx/Columbia, etc?
cirrus is really just a yoke cut in half
but yes that style in the columbia
the ones that look like modern fighters are cool

Where did you get the electo- luminescent labels done? That is really cool!

I don’t think they’re electro luminescent labels, it looks like a laser engraved (or silk screened) acrylic panel with EL backlighting.
