    Looks great! What size heat shrink did you use over the sticks?

    Funny, I ordered 2" black heat shrink about 10 minutes ago from Amazon.

    I'll report back after I install it.

    I used 1'' heat shrink on my control sticks. They came out good I thought. I'd say 1 1/4 might be easier to make the bends but more to shrink up also.

    They look great! Your idea of heat shrink over the control stick tubing is a fantastic idea.

    I dont have the control stick tube yet, just the ptt and grips. This is as far as I can get it in easily. Without sanding or filing.

    I had to sand down the connector, the clip part

    See if it will install without the wiring first to see if thats your problem
