Show us your stick grips..

[Tram]

Hey guys-

We are thinkin' about replacing the grips in our 6.. We just got a Bubble Buster to put in the plane and are thinking about replacing the grips..

We'd like to have a PTT in the left stick..

Never thought I'd say this but.. Show us your stick!

I have the same grip. I love it!

Seems like that is a very popular grip all across the board..

We are thinking about picking up a "3" switch for the pilot side and a single trigger switch for the pax side..

I sent them an e-mail for pricing, anyone willing to tell me what they paid for theirs?

Here's what I paid a few weeks ago:

Hi Rob,
The 8 function grips are 125.00 each and the 2 function ones are 99.00, I
also have a 8 function with the relay deck built in at 169.00.
I only sell direct. 760-598-2518.
Best regards Kevin.

Ditto for the CH grips, besides, Kevin is a RV pilot.

Really pleasant folks to work with.

I am in the process of wiring the sticks at this time, excellent multi colored diagram that matched the wire colors, even the wires from each switch grouping are shrink wrapped into separate bundles.

Handle is symmetrical, fits either hand.

Thanks guys..

Looks like I need to look into how hard it will be to wire them up..

I think we're only going to be wiring the PTT, as we don't have any other goodies on it right now that need switches..

Maybe I can talk pops into a smoke system.. LOL..

I made these from a couple of aluminum "mushrooms" I turned. the foam is from ice scraper handles. Total cost about 8 bucks! I not trying to be thrifty just didn,t like nothing on the market. Van would be proud

I made a temporary stick grip, and I haven't changed it.

It's a piece of poly pipe heated with my heat gun and formed with seaming pliers. Estimated cost, about $0.50 plus switches.

Doesn't look as fly as others I've seen, but does the job. It's held on with a hose clamp at the bottom, but my plan is to drill and tap for a screw to hold it in place. I also considered wrapping it with bicycle handlebar tape, but haven't yet.

Does anyone know of a source for these stick grips?

The aeroplane is a Diamond Twinstar.

I grips should be available through Diamond as a spare part, but I'm wondering whether they are commercially available (cheaper) elsewhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
