After I fly for a while, I can always install a grip with all the doo-dads. (Although I hear once you're flying, you don't want to stop long enough to make any modifications.)
I do think the wood grips are pretty but here are few bike grips I think look cool:Davepar said:Yikes. That's a lot of wires. I'm starting to lean toward George's camp. I can't bring myself to use a bicycle grip, though.
What length of foam grip did you use?jonbakerok said:If you use a long foam bicycle grip, it's comfortable anyplace you grab it. They're getting hard to find, though.
Spruce sells a PPT switch that fits the end of the stick perfectly
jhallrv4 said:I bought the Infinity, a slightly scaled down version of the F4 grip, or so I'm told. Whatever, one of the best decisions I made on the bird. The coolie hat is my elev/aileron trim, gunswitch is p.t.t., I have channel select/flip flop on one switch, fuel pump, flaps with one switch left over. I was going to put the ldg lights on that one, but opted for seperate switch on Control Vision EXP buss board for taxi and lgd, and it has a "soft on" feature built into the board that I didn't want to lose. I have a fairly large hand, yet the Infinity fits it perfectly. I don't find that the switches get in the way at all. Being able to handle flaps, fuel pump, trim and comms with the stick is way to wonderful. The grip is ordered with all the switches selected in advance, and wired at the mfgr.

I'm curious if any of the people who replied to this thread have further comment some 18 YEARS later?
I noticed some dead links, and then looked at how long this thread had been dormant.
What, no GA switch?Try Infinity
Many people seem to favor these:

They're $150 and have plenty of buttons. You can fire Sidewinders, Sparrows, or the Vulcan gun, as well as slew the radar antenna, dispense chaff, release bombs, deploy the airbrakes, and engage the tractor beam. Whatever you do, don't press the red button or you'll engage the hyperdrive.
Love my PCG. They’ll do whatever you want.I am hoping I can find something at Oshkosh. Infinity claims to have 60,000+ combinations of switches. I must be stupid, I can’t find any of those choices on their web page.
As an A&P mechanic used to working on big boy jets, I absolutely do not want a china hat. I want a dual trim switch on the grip with a backup switch mounted on the dash. A PTT switch and an autopilot disconnect pickle switch on the grip. I could go for a button that’d switch the radio from comm 1 to comm 2.
As far as I can see, no-one offers such a beast.
Love my PCG. They’ll do whatever you want.
The dual/split may be a stretch if the switch is hard to come by. But may not be.
I also didn’t want a coolie hat and just went for pitch only. (Plus’s PTT and AP Disc)
I’m sure they’ll be at OSH- ask them in person.
