    As you are new, the short answer is no you can not advertise and sell products on TeamKitfox.com unless you are a paid sponsor like all the good folks at the top of every page are.

    Now, everyone that saw your post and can figure out how to email you behind the scenes (do not post your email in the thread) might contact you that way if they could use your kit.

    Do not use TeamKitfox's Private Messaging feature for contacting the poster about this kit. Private messaging impacts my costs for service ever so slightly but emailing does not.

    I think they're pretty sharp! Thanks again. I'd show a picture with the red light on, but I don't have any electrical in the plane yet.

    Have you considered the stick travel and whether they might hit your panel with the elevator full forward? It looks like your sticks are very tall may hit the panel. This problem happens quite often. I had to shorten my sticks so the grips wouldn't do this.

    I think the camera angle makes them look a little taller than they are, but I'll definitely keep this in mind. Thanks for the tip.

    Anybody find an alternate source for the end piece? I emailed Dbb135 and haven't heard back.

    I didn't use Lizard Skin grips as they don't ship to Canada, Amazon.ca had a few but not the style I like and they were well over $100 for the Lock on Shorty grips, Instead I used Spank Lock on Short Grips ($50 for the pair with shipping)

    Even tho I have a 3D Printer The "Kit" offered here was cheaper then I could source JUST the PTT Switches and came with the 3D printed adapters, 2 PTT buttons, wiring connectors, and instructions, it is a very complete kit.

    I used heat shrink over the sticks instead of painting them.

    Spank Grips, PTT, 3D Printed adapter, stick and heat shrink.

    Installed: I have it wired so the LED Ring turns on when the radio is powered up.

    Installed on my Model IV, I can attest they do not interfere with the dash.

    Super fast shipping (Even to Canada) Highly recommend
