I have a left hand Infinity Aerospace Stick Grip available that I'm not going to use. This retails for $175, I'll let it go for $100.

Just to clarify this is stick in left hand / throttle in right, it will not work for a left hand throttle set up. I guess it would technically "work" but it just wouldn't feel "right"

See pics.

Btw you'll need to make a spacer to put that on the 3/4 thorp stick. I used a piece of 1" dia 1/8 wall alum tubing. That brings the 1" grib down to the 3/4" stick.

I thought the stick hole looked a bit big. That's no problem. We have plenty if metal tubing stock to make the spacer. Did u use that momentary switch on the top to actuate the flaps. We bought the actuator u recommended. Also, what would u use those other two buttons on the right for? Maybe to change comm frequencies or the Garmin GPS?

Go to the Infinity Web page. It has the drawing for the required spacer for our sticks. I had to remove the "blue insulation" from the main wire and solder all the grounds to a common point in order to reduce the number of wires going down the stick and out the bottom. Got this tip from another site ? You can buy the required spacer from Infinity for $15.00. Took me about 15 min. to make mine. When I install electric flaps, I will have one spare switch on the grip. The flap switch is the toggle switch with up/on and mom. down.

Don't forget to offset the grip. If you don't put in the twist/offset your wrist will get mighty tired ! :o Looking straight down from the top of the grip for the pilots side the PTT trigger will be pointing slightly to the co-pilots side. ;)
