    I used the existing switches (Part # 11-14195) which can be found here: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages...ag11-14195.php

    Mine have a dust cover which have been worn off!

    I too like the larger switch hat, but can't justify the $$ for new PTT switches when these work. Eventually they will be replaced, but not any time soon.

    Hope that helps.

    Cheers,
    Po

    Could you post the 3d file? I have a printer and would love to try it out.

    The 3d file can be downloaded from my Thingiverse page: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3783281

    Post a 'Make' if you print them! If there is enough interest I can put together a 'kit' and make them available (3d printed parts, pushbuttons, connectors, grips...).

    I'd be interested in a "kit".

    I'll put together a kit with instructions. The kit will include the following:

    2 switches
    2 switch connectors with pigtail
    2 JST Male connectors with pigtail
    2 JST Female connectors with pigtail
    2 3d printed switch adapter fittings

    Grips will need to be purchased that have two locking grips, I recommend LizardSkin Shortys, but you choose what you like and what will fit your Kitfox.

    I think $30 + shipping is fair. Send me a private message if interested.

    Also, I am fairly new to the group, so if selling items on the forum is frowned upon, please let me know.

    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.

    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.
