Hi All
We are close to fitting out the fuselage and need to source stick grips. I’ve looked at the Ray Allen offerings but wonder if anyone has fitted other types and can give feedback??
We will have standard elevator trim only so don’t really need 4 way trimming but willing to listen to any good advice.
Kind Regards

Steve, I would follow the principle of ‘Think light’ in all your building. I agree there is no benefit in having stick trim adjustment. Having a simple PTT button on top of the stick, possibly an elegant wooden domed one), is well worthwhile. But otherwise consider just wrapping the top 4 or 5 ins of the stick in thin leather, suede or Alcantara. It may encourage you to a lighter finger type grip of the stick rather than a gorilla grasp of one of those contured handles!

I have a Ray Allen G101 on P2 side and G205 on P1. I use the pitch trim on the grip as much as l do the rocker on the panel.
They work well and I do recommend them. ALso very easy to connect to the Ray Allen servos in the above configuration.

Pete,
I looked for a good comfortable grip for ages. Eventually went for grips from long handled garden edge shears. They are green which is my colour scheme.
They are a great success but I had to embed a press to transmit in the top. Neat job.
Just my pennyworth,
Worth a rummage at the garden centre though.
Cheers

Since my build theme is simplicity I went to the local bicycle shop and got a bag with four long handlebar foamy grips. I am putting a small plastic cap at the end of the stick to place a PTT button. Will use the trim in the panel. Looks nice (and simple). Total $9.
