Hi,

This will be our next offering for our custom grips and Multi-grip system for out VBS Range of controls. It's the Crouzet grip found in most Eurocopter Helicopters. Just need to hollow it out and put in the switch mounts. From this grip we will also get the G2 grip that Sikorsky use in the UH-60 and S92 helicopters with a couple of tweaks.

BR

Rich

Great grips. Just an idea . . . but both BMS and DCS are coming out soon with an F-18c sim. When that happens there will be a ton of guys building Hornet simpits and looking for a good F-18 grip (me included).

If you could have that ready for the sims release you'd sell a LOT !

We can design and make any grips that anyone wants. As long as we have enough pictures of drawings to get the shape size right any grip is possible. So if you have any let me know!!

Very nice.

Speaking of helicopter cyclic grips, is there any chance you'll make a Ka-50 cyclic and collective grip down the road? DCS: Black Shark could use some matching controls.

If you can 3D model and just do a base kit it will be easy..neaner
The Crouzet is it the one used in the Eurotiger? Nice....

Hi,

Yes the KA-50 is already being designed at the moment. We are just getting our heads around the trigger mechanism. Will have some preview shots soon.

It's very similar to the Eurocopter Tiger, the very top part has more buttons and switches etc..

VERY interested in both the B-8 grip and a Hornet grip. I suppose it will be up to the user to figure out how to attach it to the Warthog/Cougar threaded stick shaft/ring assembly?

Any more views of the B-8? When I'm not flying DCS:A-10C I'm flying Milviz's F-86...

Thanks


Cheers!

Hi Jocko,

No, we are looking at providing an adapter to allow our various grips to attach to the Warthog. We are just trying to get hold of a Wathog, so we can take it apart and design the adapter.

More B8 pics below. The curved adapter at the base has been removed.

Cheers

Rich

Why not a multi purpose screw on connector on the grips?

Hi Guys,

The first grip has arrived back from the printers. It needs a little finishing work before spraying and wiring.

As for cost, this grip is £200 as part of our Multi-Grip system. Doesn't include shipping or any VAT or import tax.

Cheers

Rich

These look outstanding. Any chance on doing some WW2 grips specifically a mustang B-5 or later version B-6 and of course I'm positive you could sell several KG-13s for the Luftwaffe crowd.

Nice-looking grip there...

...ow, my wallet. My poor American wallet. I hate how my local currency is so shortchanged against the GBP and Euro to the point where I get totally reamed to even think about importing flight sim equipment made in Europe, be it these grips, Simpeds, force-sensing Cougar mods...then again, no one said flight simulation was cheap.

Rich,

Any word on the AH-64 controls? Or scrapped the project?
