Big upgrade from our old single Push-To-Talk grips. This new grip on the pilot side has (5) buttons – (2) trim up/dn, (1) AP disconnect, (1) frequency flip-flop and PTT. It will be nice to have this on the stick for easy access. It was tough pulling the (5) wires through the pilot control stick. The stick isn’t built for a straight shot through, it splits inside into two chambers. You need half of the wires to go through separate chambers. I had to remove the pilot stick and work on it at the bench. The big problem was re-installing the stick, which trying to put the spacer washers back in the turnbuckle was close to impossible – no room to work. I decided to make a special tool for the washer insertion.

About This Blog
Our Blog is about Wallace and Karen upgrading our 2010 RV-12 912ULS. Our 2010 had the basic factory equipment Dynon D180 EFIS, Garmin 496, Garmin SL40 – no lights or autopilot. This upgrade is to the latest glass Dynon Skyview HDX dual 10″ screens with strobe/nav/landing lights and autopilot. We will also be painting the cabin interior gloss almond.
We are also building a RV-12is.-
