One solution to the skinny control wheel

[halaszgil]

Forgot vendor, but is in Alaska and has a "SIDE YOLK" replacement with ptt button. Very cool and allows unobstructed view of panel.

That's Eddie Trimmer's mod and STC that Old3pacer mentioned. http://trimmeraviation.com/yoke.html

The paracord I like; 1, because it looks cool; and 2, you have 20'-30' of paracord at your fingertips (get it? ) in case of a "spontaneous camping" incident.

Ok, I spotted some bright red paracord in Walmart looking for a folding chair the other day....I'll try it and take and post a pic later. : ) I still contend the original design is very good for a number of reasons, but I'm open to some new ideas.

While I have my hand on the left side of the yoke when I'm flying, at least 90% of the time, that just looks odd. Certainly practical and removes the obstructions of the panel issue but just "looks like" too much is missing. Probably just a visual thing in my head.

I like the rams horn style better and have been looing at options for it. I am 700 miles away from the plane right now as well. Any chance anyone can tell me what the diameter of the control tube is?

I did a DER approval for a PMA PA-28 control wheel on a Colt a couple years ago. I’ll look up what wheel was used.

Nice! I am guessing that you used the 3/4" adapter so that would give me the shaft size I am looking for right there. Spendy lil buggers but look sweet!

My PA-22 control yoke too small to hold my push to talk and it get sweaty and not comfortable to hold, any ideas? what are most of you doing with your control yoke to make them easier to hold?

Merged your thread with another on skinny control yokes. Here is a good thread on push to talk ideas. https://www.shortwingpipers.org/foru...8-PTT-Switches
