What are builders using to connect the infinity grip wires to the panel? I saw some pictures a while ago that showed the connector mounted to the landing gear bracket. Which connector is being used. 25 D-sub? I didn't order the longer cables.

I used 16-pin CPC connectors under the seats and then wired the sticks together under the seats as necessary and then wired them up to the panel through the side panels.

I used Aerotronics for my panel and they had a Circular Plastic Connector (CPC) by Amp already hanging there under the panel. All I had to do is put together the other half of the CPC plug with the wires from the stick.

Just finished this yesterday. I used a 25-pin d-sub zip tied to the landing gear mount. Seems to work fine.

Has anyone drilled into the control sticks so the blue cable could go inside the stick instead of exterior?

Thanks Ivan,
That is where I saw the original pictures months ago and forgot where I saw them. That's perfect.

I was able to get the blue cable into the tube by filing a little relief notch to make the 90 degree turn into a hole I drilled into the curved part of the stick. I'll get a picture that shows this better than words can describe.

I didn't bother. I used lacing to firmly attach it to the back of the stick, and then had Abby at Flightline Interiors make a "boot" for the stick in my upholstery color - looks fantastic. About eighty bucks and worth it.

I did, I put a 90 degree bend in the upper stick. pretty much followed Tim
Olson's site for doing mine. Looks much cleaner to me, but it does take some
work to make it come through the tube to the bottom. Not hard and looks much
more mice than leaving it on with zip ties. A small boot off the bottom
panel into the flightstick and painting the stick would be nice. I think I
took this picture from Greg Hale's site.
With that said, a full flightstick boot would cover the stick as well and
look equally nice.

Hi Pascal
That looks like a beautiful interior in your -10.
One question on the infinity cable - how did you handle the cable at the bottom end if the control stick?
Cheers

Don’t I wish!! That is Greg Hale's interior
(http://nwacaptain.com/rv10_home.html) Just using as an example of how good
it looks with the small boot and the stick painted.
As far as the cable on the bottom, comes straight out into a service loop
and held in place with a clamp on the landing gear bracket to allow for all
the play the stick will need.

Here are some picture of the stick covers I made for my sticks. I have the
cable on the outside of the stick and these have a nice zipper in the front.
I have made these for some other builders as well. They are very easy to put
on.

I had a steering wheel reupholstery guy wrap the control sticks and the windhsield bar with black leather and red stiches. I'll be running the cables inside the sticks.

Although mine are also done, I would be interested in seeing pictures of how
the red stitching look..
