Just fyi.

CH Stick Grips are no longer being made or supported by CH Products... Kevin Williamson (the original developer) bought out the molds and inventory from CHP after a change of ownership.

I have the CS-8 Aircraft Grip and they are -nice-.

Here's the new website and contact info:

Tosten Manufacturing
San Marcos, CA 92069
760-803-6034
http://www.tostenmanufacturing.com

Regards,
Jay

It seems like quite a few people have the Tosten grips in their -10's.

Can anyone flying with one of these grips, address whether the forward sweep on the grip is an issue as far as panel interference goes?

With that forward sweep, clearly, you get less forward distance until hitting the panel. I'm just not sure if that is a practical concern at all when everything is finally rigged and tested.

Thanks!
Jae

I've trial fitted it and found that the stick has to be modified in some
way to clear the panel. I bent mine in a press. Others have re-welded it.

I'm not sure if any of the stick tops or any of the alternate panel
setups end up without requiring some mod of the stick.

Jae, if you zoom in on the pic attached, you will see what I did to make them clear the panel... they go right under and clear by at least .050".....Not that I will ever need to push the stick that far forward. I might have slightly modified the connection on the bottom... just can't remember. But they work fine, no issues.

Jae,

I have the CH, now Tosten grips. They work fine and mine just brush the
switches and CB's on the panel at full forward. I cut the sticks a low as
they would go to install the grips. FWIW, nothing against them but on my
next aircraft I'm using the Infinity grips and modify the stick to allow
them to not hit the panel. Reason? They just feel nicer to me and the
switches have a more tactile feel and are less apt to be inadvertently
actuated, my 2 cents as always,

Rick... thanks. this is the first I have heard of a preference for the
Infinity grips for this reason. Also, it does look like the Infinity
grips have a similar amount of forward sweep on them as to the Tostens.

Thanks for all the other responses. Initially, I wanted to avoid all
this trouble by going with the Ray Allen grips, which seeemed nice and
simple enough for me. However, i just did not like stand the individual
trim buttons instead of a hat switch. I emailed Ray Allen about
switching out for a hat switch, but they replied negative on that
request. Always somethin...

I did find Robin's old post about how he increased the bend angle in the
stick here. It does seem simple enough.

Now to investigate Rick's issue. Wink

It appears that the Tostens can be setup so they can rotate freely while
in operation. For example, rotating enough so that it can be fully
gripped with the left or right hand. Can anyone comment?

I've handled both grips but haven't flown with either. I preferred the
Tostens due to fewer switches and a more pleasing fit and feel. But
again, I haven't flown either of them.

Bill, I have them and love them. I have them rotate and fits my hand
perfectly. I did have to reform the stick to prevent them hitting the
panel, but I have a Stein panel so don't know if they would hit the regular
one. I too did not need or want all those extra switches.

Hey Gary, glad to hear they can rotate. That seems like a neat
feature. I have a Stein panel blank too and I had to do the bending of
the stick to get it to clear but it seems to work in my pre-flight cockpit.

I'm getting close....
