I wound up replacing the microswitches in one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/infinityaerospace.com\">Infinity Aerospace<\/a> stick grips.  The military style grip is really cool, it&#8217;s like an old F4 Phantom grip, with a trigger PTT, a four way toggle  (&#8216;china hat&#8217; is not the preferred nomenclature, Dude), and 3 pushbuttons, one momentary, the rest on-off.    I had to replace the toggle, because it sticks on in the up position and is momentary down.   I want that to be my flap controller, so it needs to be momentary in both directions.  I replaced it with one I bought from ACS a few weeks ago.   I also got momentary pushbuttons to replace the on-off ones.  I imagine those will become AP disengage, transponder ident, frequency flip-flop on the 430, and something else TBD.   Maybe flip flop on my spare comm, whatever that winds up being.  I might change one back to on-off and run the fuel boost pump with it, we&#8217;ll see.   I can probably do the other grip tomorrow morning before work if I don&#8217;t dawdle on the internet for too long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 hour.
