    Rick... thanks. this is the first I have heard of a preference for the Infinity grips for this reason. Also, it does look like the Infinity grips have a similar amount of forward sweep on them as to the Tostens. Thanks for all the other responses. Initially, I wanted to avoid all this trouble by going with the Ray Allen grips, which seeemed nice and simple enough for me. However, i just did not like stand the individual trim buttons instead of a hat switch. I emailed Ray Allen about switching out for a hat switch, but they replied negative on that request. Always somethin... I did find Robin's old post about how he increased the bend angle in the stick here. It does seem simple enough. http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t=59431&highlight=infinity+control+stick+robin Now to investigate Rick's issue. ;) Jae Rick wrote: > > Jae, > > I have the CH, now Tosten grips.

    Just food for thought, but I know some folks make their antenna doublers larger than just the antenna base plate and add flanges either by bending or riveting on angle. The purpose of the flange(s) is to be able to tie the doubler into some structure (ie a rib, frame, or stiffener) other than just the skin. -------- Todd Stovall 728TT (reserved) RV-10 Empacone, Wings Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=292960#292960

    It appears that the Tostens can be setup so they can rotate freely while in operation. For example, rotating enough so that it can be fully gripped with the left or right hand. Can anyone comment? I've handled both grips but haven't flown with either. I preferred the Tostens due to fewer switches and a more pleasing fit and feel. But again, I haven't flown either of them.

    Subject: NavWorx ADS-B transceiver
    From: Kelly McMullen <apilot2@gmail.com>
    NavWorx Developing ADS-B Transceiver For GA Existing Receive-Only Units Will Be Eligible For Upgrades NavWorx is currently developing ADS-B transmitter capability, which will be offered as an upgrade option for current ADS600 owners and integrated into the ADS600-B transmit and receive unit. The company announced Wednesday that FCC approval of the transmitter is expected shortly. Current ADS600 units function as receive-only devices, however, can be upgraded for two-way communication. Two-way communication forms the foundation of the new NextGen air traffic control system called ADS-B, or Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast. The NavWorx ADS600 product line allows pilots to receive ADS-B signals including TIS-B traffic and FIS-B flight and weather information for display on a variety of devices. ADS-B signals are received from Air Traffic Control as well as other equipped aircraft. The new ADS600-B has the added capability of transmitting an aircraft's GPS-derived position, vector and speed. The benefits of ADS-B communications are improved air traffic safety and enhanced situational awareness for pilots. The NavWorx ADS600 line of products operate off an expanding network of ADS-B transmitters across the continental U.S., Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska. The NavWorx product line consists of the ADS600 and PADS600, both ADS-B receivers designed for certified, experimental, and light-sport aircraft Standard upgrade pricing will be $1,000.00. Customers who purchased the remote-mounted ADS600, or portable PADS600, can upgrade with the transmitter for $600.00 through April 18, 2010. ADS600-B pricing will be $2,495.00. Customers who purchase the remote-mounted ADS600-B can do so for $2,120.75 before April 18, 2010. A fully refundable payment is required at the time of purchase. NavWorx is also offering 40-percent off its transmitter upgrade for the company's ADS600 ADS-B traffic and weather receiver for a limited time, as well as a 15-percent discount on its forthcoming ADS600-B transceiver unit. This new unit will incorporate both transmit and receive capabilities. To take advantage of these limited-time discounts, customers must make their purchase prior to April 18, 2010.

    IIRC doublers are supposed to be at least 50% larger surface area than the antenna they support.

    Bill, I have them and love them. I have them rotate and fits my hand perfectly. I did have to reform the stick to prevent them hitting the panel, but I have a Stein panel so don't know if they would hit the regular one. I too did not need or want all those extra switches.

    Hey Gary, glad to hear they can rotate. That seems like a neat feature. I have a Stein panel blank too and I had to do the bending of the stick to get it to clear but it seems to work in my pre-flight cockpit. I'm getting close....

    Subject: tank question
    Are the holes for the T-1012 Zee attachment to the spar pre drilled? What is the distance between the aft tank baffle and the main spar? I see T-1004 mentioned in the plans but can't find T-1004 on the Vans site parts list?
