Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2007 4:37 pm Post subject: infinity grips

I have purchased the Infinity grips for my RV-10.  The guy who is helping build it is a retired airline pilot.  He has a concern that there is so much stuff on the grip that more could go wrong and ergonomics such as moving the hat for trim is awkward.  Advised to go with simple wood grips with Push to talk and auto-pilot disconnect only.  He knows alot more than I do about flying.  Recommendations???  Wood grip suppliers? Jim

Infinity is awesome.  People who I know who have tried them out wouldn't

think of going back.  I haven't heard anybody complain about them at all.

Just make sure to angle them towards the outside hand so it is comfortable

to hold.  Trims are comfortable, everything is at your fingertips (3 trims,

flaps, PTT, A/P disc and an extra that could be boost pump through a relay -

I hook them up to cockpit lights for night flying).  Wouldn't have it any

other way.

Jim,

  

 I have them installed with specific functions set to each.

  

 I would not trade mine for a simple PTT and autopilot disconnect any day.......

  

 But then again, I am biased based on my past experience.

Yeah, like he said...   They're just fantastic.  If anything,

I wish it had just one or two more switches available.  Ergonomics

are just fine.

It was a toss up for me, and after trying several I really liked the CH

products sticks, of course I have been using their joysticks and yokes

for many years at home game flying so I could be biased, but I love the

ones they made for me.

I love the general design of the Infinity grip.  The top portion of it is 

slightly tilting forward making easier to operate the switches up there. 

When I flew in Alex's plane his grips are more vertical (not sure what kind 

he has).  Sometimes on takeoff I had to use my other hand to operate the 

coolie hat for elev trim.  I saw Alex did the same once or twice.



I don't like that the coolie hat is inactive until it almost reaches the 

full throws.
