The new handle has 4 buttons on top that I want to use to control my EIS and the push to talk on the front for the radio. The problem I'm having is the existing PTT has one button but two switches under it. One is wired NC and the other NO. The NO switch controls the transmit which I can get to work with the button on my new handle, what is the other switch for? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tony -------- Tony B.

Tony B/Gang: Kolb used to send aluminum closed end pop rivets for attaching lexan windows and windshield. Yes, these rivets did have hardened steel mandrels and were a bugger to punch out prior to drilling out a rivet. I use them the first couple times around on windshield installation. Now I use hardware store aluminum rivets with aluminum mandrels for any lexan installation. Makes life a lot easier when it comes time to replace the lexan. Sorry I could not help you with the PPT, stick grip question. Not familiar with multi-switch type grips. john h mkIII - Looks like I may get to fly tomorrow, unless the weather guesser is wrong. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:42:43 PM PST US From: "frank.goodnight" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Rivets used in lexan installation I used hardware store alum rivets for my lexan windshield . no problem so far and easy to drill out if necessary .

Tony, as you say the NO switch is all you need for transmit. The NC switch might be for an intercom or something. I made a PTT for my UltraStar, built it right into the stick. All I used was a single NO switch. -Dana -- For every new foolproof invention there is a new and improved fool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
