So I am trying (again) to decide what buttons to put on my grip. If I understand things correctly I can do the following:
Trigger - PTT
China Hat - Trim
Top Right (use toggles w/ center off, mom - on up and down): frequency flip flop from standby on com1 (up) and com 2 (down) via SL30 and 430
Top Left (use toggles w/ center off, mom -on up and down): screen paging on GRT1 and GRT 2 via GRT
Middle (NO 8632 push button) : Autopilot control wheel steering via trutrak
Bottom pinky (NO 8632 push button) : swap com1 and com2 via GMA 340
Does this seem like a good setup or is it overkill with stuff I won't use? Also does it appear to all be doable?
Thanks
Chris Lucas

I like it, but I don't know if I'd do the com swap on the pinky like that.
If you have audio mute-able items you may want that button for that.
It's nice to turn off bogus voice alerts without pulling your hands
off the stick. The com flip-flop should be enough on the stick
to do what you really would use.

Make sure you have a heads up display with the directions on how to use the stick. While you at it, push forward--down, Pull Back --Up and side to side. Top of the list should read, Look out window and fly plane.

Won’t the CWS button also disengage the AP? I’m in the process of figuring out what should control what with my stick grip.

The really neat thing about the Infinity grip is that you can wire up each button to do what you want it to do and not have to live with somebody else's idea of which button should do what!

Here is what I have, and I love it.
Red Trigger – PTT
Hat (Up/Dn) – Elevator Trim
Hat (Left/Right) – Ailron Trim
Hat (Left/Right) while Blue Pinky switch is pressed for longer than .5 seconds – Rudder Trim
Top Toggle (Center Off) – Flaps
Top Green Switch – Audio Panel Com Swap
Black (Thumb) – AutoPilot Engage/Disengage
Blue (Pinky) – Com Act/Stby Swap if pressed less than .5 second.
I also have Transponder Ident wired, but I don’t use it, it’s just an easy to hit the ident on the unit when you change a squak code.
Thank You

As an option, we put one of the switches to use as a Trim Disconnect.
Press once to disconnect, again to reconnect. That way, once in cruise,
trimmed out & autopilot on, there are no worries about someone bumping
the trim switch.

Well that sounds just as crazy as my possible plan. ;>)
And you like it ok? and remember it all ok?
So maybe I'll press forward and see what happens - possibly with yet another configuration before I actually order.
Thanks to all for the replies on the set ups!
