I needed more buttons. I had the tosten grips, Their CS-8 grip and it was nice. It worked great and felt good in my hands. But I wanted to add buttons. I had manual trim on both the ailerons and elevator and was using the hat switch for flaps and radio functions. Now I wanted to add electric trim. The Dynon system can auto trim and also adjust trim speed with aircraft speed. I also wanted to redo my center console and get rid of the trim handle and knob there now. So, I figured let me install the electric trim and clean up the console.
The plan was:
1. Install the new grips.
2. Install electric trim.
3. Install a new console.
I needed more buttons. I looked at the Tosten MS military grip and the infinity grip. Still not really what I was looking for. The grip I chose was a Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog grip. This grip is for gaming. I has a USB output for connecting to the PC. I got one cheap on Ebay and took it apart. I rewired it and brought the wiring out the bottom. I now have more buttons than I know what to do with. I'm working on the second one for the copilot side. I also got one for the sim so I can use the same stick in the sim as I do when flying.
