Retractable Main Landing Gear for Canards | Military Style Stick Grips (HOS)
News Flash: As of May 20th, 2004, our Stick Grip's are FAA Certified for the Adam Aircraft A-500 and A-700 ! This is our 4th production aircraft to be certified in as Standard Equipment.
More News -- We now have a threaded bottom for direct War Bird Stick Grip replacement! It can also be used in ANY aircraft (LEFT or right hand)!! Also, we now have a Relay Deck !!! See below.
And More News -- Darryl Greenamyer has won the Sport Class Gold at Reno in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2nd place in 2006, in his Lancair Legacy, which has our Stick Grip ! In fact, the first 4 planes had our Stick Grips!!
PLEASE NOTE: most of the Reno Sport Class Race Planes are flying with our Stick Grips !!!
Our Military Style Stick Grips (HOS) -- that are standard issue in our Infinity 1 Quick Build Kit Sport Aircraft -- are a high quality original, similar to the grip used in the F-4 Phantom, F-15 Eagle, A-6 Intruder, Bat Plane, SeaQuest, etc., but is about 0.5" shorter and a little smaller in girth than the military versions to better fit the average size hand without a glove, and has 6 individual Switches (9 switches total) controlling 9 to 13 Functions -- no other stick grip for Sport Aircraft can control this much!
Thousands have already been installed in hundreds of models of aircraft world wide (even a 314 foot custom Yacht and a few submarines!). FAA certified in the Adam Aircraft, Micco and Eagle FAA certified aircraft. Field approved in Bell 206, Hughes 500, Enstrom and Hiller helicopters, Aero Commander 500 A's, Mooney's, Cessna's, Swifts and in blimps. Standard issue in several of today's finer Sport Aircraft Kits, such as the Thunder Mustang . Can be seen in the prototype Piper Jet, Viper Jet, Express, Legend, Sherpa, Lionheart, Rutan Boomerang, Maverick Twin Jet, Carter Copter, Adam Aircraft, Eclipse 500 (and their cockpit demo), Jim Dunn's Fuel Cell powered E-Plane, John Sharp's Nemesis NXT, Wayne Lanza's Velocity, Jeff Auckland's Radial Rocket, Brian DeFord's Blonde Streak , Greg Rictor's Jet Cozy III, Steve Wright's StaggerEZ , and many others. Also, installed in Wayne Handley's turbo-prop powered Turbo Raven air show demonstration plane (see cover story of April '99 issue of Sport Aviation magazine, page 22), in Duane Upton's Swift of the Swift Magic Team, and in Bill Cherwin's yellow T-34 of the Lima Lima Flight Team. Can be seen in the Cafe Foundation article about Mark Beduhn's Cozy MK-IV (Sport Aviation April '99 issue, page 59), in Jean Prudhomme's Velocity shown in the April '99 Kitplanes article page 7, and in Bob Warner's article on page 95 in Sport Aviation's July '99 issue, and in many other articles and pictures of planes in many magazines. In fact, our Stick Grips are in someone's featured plane, and/or in an ad, in just about every flying magazine these days, whether our Stick Grip is specifically mentioned and/or pictured, or not. Also, installed in military planes such as T-38's, Mig's, CJ-6A's, T-6/SNJ's, P-51's, L-39's, Yaks's, Marquette's, and more. Select custom instrument panel manufacturers, such as Lancair Avionics, provide only our Stick Grips as standard issue with all their custom panels. Used in simulators at Edward's AFB, the FAA in Oklahoma City and the Navy in Texas, Wright Patterson AFB, and Eclipse sims, and by NASA to control their UAV's (Unmanned Air Vehicles) ; sims in Canada, sims made in Austria, sims made in New Zealand and sims made in Australia. Used in crop dusters and turbine ag planes; by the US Post Office controlling robot arms to pick up huge mail boxes to put them through GAMA Radiation machines to kill Anthrax after 9/11; for SWAT bomb retrieval robots; to control electric wheel chairs; to drive handicapped vans; Toyota Camry engine assembly line machining; Ford Motor Company in a futuristic car; fire trucks to aim and shoot the foam nozzle and operate other accessories; to drive and control Principia's Solar Car; as a shifter in Corvettes, jeeps, Ford F-150, and off-road vehicles controlling CD players and various vehicle systems/functions; Virtual Reality (VR) games and simulations; Aces Flight Simulators at the Mall of America; used on a Catapillar Excavator for the Harlem River Tunnel; and much, much more.

Our Stick Grip has a 1" diameter hole in the bottom to allow your stick tube to fit 2.125" up inside it *.gif . A 29/64" hole is drilled 0.5" down from the top of your stick tube (at the proper clock code to ergonomically fit your hand and wrist) for the Stick Grips lower boss and screw to clamp through, and the Stick Grip halves to clamp over. You DO NOT *ever* glue our Stick Grip to your stick tube!!! NOTE: at Oshkosh 2003, we were told of an RV-8 builder who was killed when his glued on rubber grip he was using as a stick grip in his plane came loose and UP, jamming into the underside of the instrument panel!!! Spacers are available if your aircraft stick tube OD is less than, or greater than, a standard 1" OD stick tube (i.e. -- to fit Lancair 200's, 235's, 320's, 360's and older Legacy's (newer Legacy's are now 1" stick tubes), use a short 3/4" spacer ; for Canard's, Lancair IV's, Lancair ES and the Nemesis NXT, use a long 3/4" spacer ; or to fit the Van's RV 4, 6, 7, 8, & 9, and Harmon Rocket, copilots' -- and the Van's RV-10's, Glasair's, Glastar's, F-1 Rocket's and Expresses pilot AND co-pilot -- use a 7/8" spacer to adapt your aircraft's stick tube). For the larger 1.125", 1.25", 1.375" or any size OD stick tubes -- such as used in military aircraft, Mig's, T-38's, L-39's, T-34's, P-51's, SN-J's/T-6's, Yak's, Marquette's, and Falco's, for example -- a custom 5" long spacer will fit inside your larger than 1" OD stick tubes ID nicely (see price below, and provide your stick tube ID, if you want us to make it for you). A simple Stick Grip Installation Drawing is provided with your Stick Grip order (see "How to Install" *.pdf above). The Stick Grip splits in half for *very* easy maintenance. Replacement parts can be easily installed by you, and are available by simply contacting INFINITY Aerospace via the Excel order form in the pricing section below. NO other Stick Grip in the world has this much versatility at this low of a price!

Positions 3, 4, 5 & 6 can be changed from the standard ON/OFF SPDT Push-button (P/N: 8636) configurations to Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.) Momentary SPDT Pushbuttons (P/N's: 8632 N.O. or 8632 N.C.) for Transponder Ident., Auto-Pilot Disconnect or Flight Management Control. Also, a ON/Center OFF/Momentary (ON) [P/N: ST1-4], OR spring loaded-to-center (ON)/OFF/(ON), SPDT 6A @ 12 VDC toggle switch (P/N: ST1-3) (Relays required because the switch is a SPDT and you need to reverse your Flap / Speed Brake motor, NOT because the switch will not handle the Amp's (this also keeps the wire OD small) -- Radio Shack Catalog # 275-218 with Socket # 275-220, both made by Potter-Brumfield, for example) can be installed in position #3 for Flaps, Speed Brakes, Canard Belly Board or Wing Spoilers; #5 &/or #6 can be a spring loaded-to-center SPDT 6A @ 12 VDC (P/N: ST1-3) toggle switch (Relays required) for Flaps, Speed Brakes, Canard Belly Board, Wing Spoilers, Cowl Flaps, Rudder Trim, Aileron Trim, etc. ALSO, we have ON/OFF/ON (P/N: ST1-2), ON/NONE/ON (P/N: ST1-1) and ON/OFF (P/N: 10TA320) Toggle Switches.
Note: brackets around the word "ON" [ (ON) ] in the Toggle Switch descriptions above means that the toggle is momentary in that direction and springs back to the center OFF position. Also, we use SPDT push-button and toggle switches to keep the wire bundle as small in diameter as possible, therefore the wire bundle is still very flexible.

PLEASE remember, as you read the above, since there are 65,536+
possible switch combinations, we just don't have them built up sitting around
here on the shelf. So, Please, please, PLEASE allow us some time, for
we are VERY busy. We usually take about 2 weeks to make up your Custom Stick
Grips. But after a major air show (such as SnF & OSH), and/or allowing
for before and after the holidays, it takes us longer. So please allow us at least 4, to probably
6, weeks ( just like any other custom items from any other business ) for delivery of
your CUSTOM Stick Grip(s) -- which are assembled custom per your specifications
( vendors, air shows and vacations do sometimes drive this delivery time, too ).
And please know, we will endeavor to get them to you as fast as possible.
Thanks loads for your understanding, business and support :-) !
You've known for years this day was coming, so don't
wait until the last minute to order!
