All-

     1. We should police ourselves.  That is not Matt's job. I think we all realize that things have gotten out of  hand. Ignore and refuse to respond to posts that have passed the  boundary line of libel and force yourselves to return to building questions. You  can't feed the fire and expect relief from the heat. 

     2. Headphone console complete,  wiring the PTT switch. Was going to use a Ray Allen handgrip for the pilot side  and a Zenith for the other. Guess what. The Ray Allen fits one of the "Horns" of  a Y stick, but both the factory Zenith handgrips will only work if you cut the  "Y" off. A lister sent me a picture of a Y stick cut down to a single a couple  of months ago. I saved it in my "Keepers" file but damned if can't find it. If you're out there, did you modify one of the  Zenith grips to work with a Ray Allen switch? Please resend picture of your  installation.

     3. Thanks to the fine people at  Sigtronics, I was able to (Hopefully correctly) wire for a combination U174/  Standard mic/headphone jack. Beautiful helo headsets are available for 25% the  price of standard, probably because of the U174 connection hassles. Schematic  for an A200/SPA400 available from me on request.

I am flying through Georgia on the 601 May 19th or 20th.  Where are you as I may stop by and say Hi!

I am going to go golfing and fishing for 5 days in the Highlands and will fly in to a lower altitude field on the SC side, then rent a car.

  Copy of picture you were looking for attached  plus a copy of our panel.

                           I am not sure of your problem, as far as I am aware the vertical tube is the  same diameter as the horns. We attached a Ray Allen grip with trim & PTT  switchs to LHS of Y  , for the RHS we fitted a small n/o switch for  ptt into the top of the plastic grip supplied & slid this onto the RHS  of the Y using some lubrication with no problem.  We have a intercom fitted  & find the Y stick comfortable & easy to change control between pilots  & for the co pilot to operate the radio .

Clive-

     Attached is a picture of my Y  stick. To the left is the Zenith supplied grip, to the right is the Ray Allen.  I'm sure you can see the step down from the main shaft of the Y to the ears, as  well as the obviously oversized Zenith supplied grip. I've been putting up with  crap like this for 6 years. Very few parts supplied were to plans and I wound up  having to modify them to fit or make them myself from scratch.

     Thanks for the single stick  picture. Looks like other than a stock Ray Allen grip was used, and it sure  isn't Zenith supplied.

                                                                                               Bill
