Yessir. And it fits my 15% (approx) undersized hand nicely...

Isn't that the 85% sized B8 style grip?

[simpits-tech] Looking for 1st-gen GF-166

LawnDart — 2012-03-26T23:00:48-00:00

Hey guys,

I'm trying to locate an older GF-166 radio unit from GoFlight. Anyone have one they want to sell?

Speaking of B8's... how big are they meant to be? The TM grips have
changed dimensionally since the first ones were made (I have 2x Mk1's)
with this new(er) one being a bit bigger and chunkier.... Be
interesting to see how much out of dimension it really is :)

Oh, and is it sad that I got this nice new joystick, and already I'm
planning on chopping it up to go in the 'pit?

There's got to be a mil-spec doc out there that describes the thing. I
know Otto still make them.

Not "sad" but simply "didn't waste valuable time". :)

Cris,

You're CrAzY man! I used to own EPIC and got away from it because it was just time-intensive. I want to be able to plug in and fly. Your project looks really cool though. Maybe if I was 10 years younger.. ;-) (ok� 20�)

I located another GF166 and it is currently on it's way.

Here's a bit more detail on what the conversion looks like. THe wiring job here is horrible as it was a conversion from another project. This next one will be much better looking�

Oh, no I have been hurt, wahhh!! Nope.. hope to offer this whole system
as a kit by flite-tronics.com
this system handles real 410 heads, w/o mods. and the audio channels for
1 or MULTIPLE crew stations..
the arduino just scans the heads, and turns on lights, etc. software is
running in a Linuxbox.. It talks to the ardunio (serial) and the
simulator via ethernet.. calcs, the slant range for the radio that youve
selected and calcs if you can here it or not.. if its the nav canncel
youl get the morse code!! the other chanels go where ever VATSIM,
