    Default sliding grip

    Hello all, was wondering If anyone had glued or put a pan head screw in the control grip to keep it from sliding up. Would hate for it to happen when a guy is pulling up on the stick.


    Thanks

    Go to the wifes side of the bathroom, grab her hairspray, slide the grip up about 2 inches, spray a little hairspray on it, slide it down and clean up after below the grip once its down

    Patrick,
    What kind of grip do you have? I have a Ray Allen with the push to talk switch and I used silicone caulk to help keep it in place. After 100 hours now the grip is starting to move around on the stick so some other means might be better. I still want to remove the grip to access the switch. What are others using for this? By the way congrats on your nearly ready to fly Kitfox! It's been awesome for me to fly mine!

    Mine are a very tight fit; and also called for the installation on of one (1) simple aluminum pop rivet that you could drill out if you ever needed to change out the PTT switch, etc.
