Tosten Stick Grips

[rfazio1951]

Just thought I would pass this along. I have a set of the Tosten Stick Grips in my plane and love them. I'm helping my friend wire his plane and I talked him into get the grips also. We had everything working, the radio, autopilot, and flaps wired into the sticks. My friend was playing with a wire and accidentally shorted a hot lead to the common on the sticks and fried the hat switches in both sticks. It took us a while to figure out what happened but we finally did. After confirming the sticks were toast, I called Tosten to ask if I could get the parts I needed to fix them. He told me to send them back and he would fix them no charge, just pay shipping! I was so surprised. They are on the way back and my friend is happy. If you need stick grips with all the goodies on them Tosten is a real nice grip.

The PTT button on one of my Glasair sticks died so I bought a pair Tosten stick grips for the same price as one Glasair grip. I'm impressed with them and second Richard's endorsement. They are a nice inexpensive grip with lots of options.

A handful of us at Dynon have them on the Sportman we went on in together. We like them too.

We're trying to put the Tosten stick grips in a GlasAir and they are a bit tall to go under the dash even when we cut the stick shorter. Any hints on how to modify the stick to get the grips to work on the GlasAir?

When we put them in our Sportsman, we had to cut the aluminum insert at an angle since we had to cut the stick down so low that the insert goes into the bend. I looked through our build pictures but didn't find one of the cut, sorry.

Would you please give the web site address for the Tosten grips?
Thanks

Thanks. We'll look at it that way and see if we can make it work.

I picked up 4 "Top Gun" game stick/grip/controllers for about $10.00 each on Ebay. Slight mods with relays and I have a nice setup in my plane.
The "top Gun" controller doesn't look as plane as the ones on the web site. If fact some of them even look like game controllers.
