Flight Grip, LLC
Did anyone use the grips from Flight Grip, LLC.? Their ad is always in the back of Kitplanes but they don't seem to have a website. I like the rocker style trim switch. Are they as good as they look?

Ray Allen G101 grips
For those of you using the G101 grips, was there anything special you needed to do to use them? My sticks have only about a 2" straight section before it starts to curve. The curve starts out gradually but is pretty pronounced by the 4" point. The folks at Ray Allen say they normally require about a 4 1/2" straight tube.

I assume your sticks are the same as everybody else's? I just put them on and they fit fine on mine.

Yeah, as far as I know, mine are like all the others - straight from Van's. The grips must be flexible enough to handle the curve. Like them?

I'm happy with them. Flew a Sportstar recently that had the same grips and they felt fine. Better than bike grips, and they have a good PTT button. I've got a bike grip on the flap handle and that works well there too.

I have a pair of these. 2.5 hours into phase one, so limited experience. Configured with the double trigger switch for PTT and A/P disconnect on both sticks. Trim in panel for simplicity. Robust. Doesn't snag clothing. At installation I thought the corners of the rocker switch were too square, but it doesn't feel like a problem in the air. Ask me again in a month.

We used Tosten Grips and are very happy with them.

I installed Tosten CS-8's
Be careful of the two buttons on the top. I had them connected to flip/flop and radio change and wound up disconnecting them after numerous accidental button engagements. For me they were actually dangerous because of the inadvertant radio loss--a few times in the pattern.
The problems were my own clumsy fault, I'm sure, and since I didn't need all that functionality, disconnecting them was no big deal. Otherwise, I love the grips. The trim control via the hat switch is great.

Super light stick grip
Here is a stick grip solution for all who are happy with only a PTT switch, like me. It is very cheap and ultra light, yet stylish and makes servicing the cheapo PTT easy.
- Grip: PROCRAFT foam Superlite P/N 11307530
- Plug: KAPSO GPN-320 22mm diameter

Flight Grip are excellent, I've done about 8,000 hours hanging onto one of those crop dusting. The ledge on the bottom gives good hand support and there is room to fit more buttons/switches.
They are a real workmans grip. In saying that their functionality probably detracts from their aesthetics.
