Stick Grip

December 19th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

I liked the Infinity grip in the RV-8, so I am going to do the same in the RV-7. I fit it to the stick after cutting off 3.75", so overall length of the stick is unchanged. The switch behind the blue and green buttons were swapped. 5/16" socket put in the vertical lathe (drill press) and machined down to .41" diameter to get to the nut on each switch. Later, I'll consolidate all ground wires inside the grip to minimize size of wire bundle exiting the grip.I liked the Infinity grip in our RV-8, so I am going to do the same in the RV-7.  I fit it to the stick after cutting off 3.75″, so the overall length of the stick is unchanged.  The switches behind the blue and green buttons were swapped to match what I had on the RV-8 (on/off vs momentary).  I put a 5/16″ socket in the vertical lathe (drill press) and machined down to .41″ diameter to get to the nut on each switch.  Later, I’ll consolidate all ground wires inside the grip to minimize size of wire bundle exiting the grip.
