It's true that removing the spherical tip shortened
the antenna and raised its resonant frequency . . . but
I doubt that it makes much difference from a performance
perspective. Most manufacturers put those balls on for
reducing risk of personal injury . . . kinda like those
plastic hoodies they put on ends of re-bar extending
out the top of concrete walls on a construction site.
In another instance, the spherical tip COULD be
intended to reduce coronal discharge at the tip during
transponder reply time when voltages at the tip might
be several thousand volts . . . and at altitude where
the rarified air ionizes easier.
But replacing it is probably a personal preference for
reducing the severity of the wound should anyone
inadvertently come in contact with it.

Ditto on Infinity. Here is my set-up
PTT
Coolie hat aileron/elevator trim
Flaps (momentary down, hard up to dump flaps with one motion)
EFIS page flip
AP Engage
Intercom/radio re-play (the radio automatically records)

I have an infinity stick as well. And never, ever considered putting the
starter switch on the stick. I have assigned every switch on the stick to
be only something that I would use while the aircraft is in motion to reduce
the number of times I would have to remove my hand from the stick.
Here's my list:
PTT
Com radio swap
transponder ident
EFIS page flip
AP Engage
Trim
Starter, fuel pump, etc., are typically used once from startup to shutdown.
In my book, that makes them impractical for the stick.

Thanks Don... good stuff.
I pretty much have the same switch assignment on my Aero Grip.
I hate having a switch installed in the airplane that does not do
something... now that I eliminated the starter feature perhaps I could
assign that switch to something already installed in the airplane like the
taxi light, seat vibratory massage, satcom internet, or the disco ball
motor... or... I guess I will have to dream up some new feature to add to
the airplane so that the switch can actually do something.
THANKS AGAIN!!!

The Grand Rapids Technology Engine Monitor has different engine analysis
displayed on different =9Cpages=9D which are actually what
is being seen on the screen. I should have said EIS page flip rather
than EFIS page flip.

The HX series have a number of "pages". PFD, Engine, Map, etc. There is a "page
flip" function where pressing a switch will cause the page to toggle between
PFD and Map screen.
So while you're flying along, hit the "page" button on the stick and the screen
changes to a full screen map. Hit the button again, and it goes back to the
PFD.
