I actually don't prefer the fighter style grip.
Unfortunately the Tosten is one button short for me just like the G307 is.

I got frustrated trying to make the wiring turn at the grip end so I ran my wiring external. I ordered some 1.75" black shrink tubing from MC and cut it to length, slipped it over the stick and cable and went to work with the head gun.

These are my experiences almost exactly. A quick call to JD will get just what you want, the way you want. I also recommend using the supplied wire at least to underneath the front seats. If you aren't using the VP system, then JD's trim relay board is a great way to wire up your trims, IMHO. I often buy a couple of other buttons from him for simple things on the panel as well (ie, autopilot source switch, acknowledge buttons, etc.), so it might make sense to think through other things that you may want before calling. The order form on the website does work, if you can find it. It takes a little while to wade through the huge fonts and colors to actually find the order form link, but it is there. It does explain itself moderately well, but again, a call will definitely work. JD is very knowledgeable.

A note on the wiring. His bundle of wiring in the blue sleeve has a LOT of wires in it. I think each wire has an associated ground wire. This bundle is difficult to fish through the control stick. Don’t flake out and run the wires external to the stick. I suggest you eliminate most of the ground wires that you don't need and fish the balance of the wires through the stick. I call my set up "hillbilly wiring" but it works well and is much cleaner than an external wiring job. BTW I am not saying it is impossible to run the entire bundle through the stick, just very difficult. We finally learned on the 8A the best technique.

OK this is off subject, but I'm having a tough time of calibrating my fuel guages to the Grand Rapids. I've read and re-read GIS's instructions and I am still lost, anybody out there that can throw me a bone it would be much appreciated.

I can't help, but let me know when you figure it out, because I am going to be needing to do this for a guy in the next couple of weeks and I don't have a clue how yet.
Thanks.
