Stick grips
Can anyone recommend a decent stick grip for an RV-7? We have dual Dynon Skyview EFIS with a Dynon autopilot, manual trim.
In terms of switches, I am thinking PTT, autopilot disconnect, perhaps Squawk Ident...
Would appreciate any comments, both positive and negative,
Thanks in advance,

Yep,,,Tosten. You can't beat the quality and price. Very comfortable and ambidextrous.

I went with the Tosten grips also.
Switches are as follows:
Trim - Hat
PTT - trigger
AP disconnect - index
AP AutoLevel (new Dynon feature) - right
Freq Flip/Flop - left
Copilot grip grounds are wired to a DPDT switch on the panel to disable.

Another vote for Tosten... I love mine. They give you military-like button convenience and functionality, in a professional, non-military looking grip.
Nothing wrong with the military look if you're into that, and if so the Infinity grips are very nice. I just thought they would look out of place in my aircraft.
You can get more buttons on the Infinity grip so it might come down to just how many things you think you need on your stick.

teak grips
I love my teak grips, you fly with your fingers anyway, I love the look and get compliments all the time. I think it is all personal.
