You can't go wrong with Infinity Aero's grips. They are top notch quality,
and he can build them custom to however you like with just about any switch
combination.
I didn't end up using many of the switches, but I loved having the trim and
flaps on the switch.

Hello Group;
Now this may sound like a stupid question at first but think about it. I see
a lot of military control stick grips on Ebay, usually over $200! Has anyone
ever attempted to use a "game" type of joy stick grip and adapt it to an RV?
Yes they are lighter in weight, but if disassembled, could one be filled
with fiberglass jelly to strengthen it? Could the switches be adapted? Let
me know what you all think.

Mark: Yea, right....... I do that full forward dive while full right stick
roll move all the time myself. NOT...:-) It was a dream I think --
probably a bad one. I can only imagine what it feels and looks like.
Wonder if I would recover or if the wings and tail would still be attached.
How fast you enter into this is probably real important.
Seriously, what kind of flying you doing anyway and who you got insurance
with and how do you tie everything down inside the cockpit and what kind of
seatbelt/harnesses you use and what parachute do you wear? no not archive
for obvious reasons. Have a nice day and keep cool. 95 and 90% humidity
for today, tomorrow, and the day after that in So. Indiana. Good day to go
swimming or flying high. Seriously.......

I can see how a DAR would not sign off if anything interfered with
the stick movement, I'm sure the one I plan on using would not allow
it.
Hack saw in hand!
Oh and by the way, I don't think your really flying yet, I have seen
you ;-)

Another help for cowl removal is to make the horizontal baffles that
fit under the lip of the bottom cowl removable. I used a couple of #6
stainless screws per side.

Maybe. Sometimes when one cylinder isn't firing, the
engine stumbles & shakes so much that it's really hard
to tell which cylinder isn't firing.

--> RV-List message posted by: "DEAN PSIROPOULOS" <dean.psiropoulos@verizon.net>
HI all:
This thread got me to thinking.....I've seen and flown a few RV-6s with the
sticks full length as provided by Van's. I like to rest my hand on my thigh
and fly with my fingertips most of the time and I'd like to have my stick
grip (PTT etc.) close by when doing so. So.....gotta cut the sticks off.
Good or bad idea? Any suggestions as to how much to cut off? If you don't
remember how much you cut off just measure up from the top of the bearing
tube that the pivot bolt goes through. Tell me what your reference point is.
Thanks.

We tried the CH Products grip on our RV6. The grip cants forward, and we
were not able to use because we put a lower extension on our panel and the
grip would hit it before hitting the stops.
