Post subject:	Wood Control Stick ID Request - Primary or Basic Trainer?
Can anyone here put an ID on this wood control stick? I've been told it was removed from a Stearman PT-17, but one eagle-eyed viewer determined the lower connection linkage assembly appears wrong for the Kaydet. http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp12 ... stick1.jpg http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp12 ... stick2.jpg It's about 26" long, and although hard to read, there looks to be a cast B in a triangle along with E 208 A on the lower metal linkage assembly. http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp12 ... stick4.jpg http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp12 ... stick3.jpg Any suggestions? Dale

PT-19 maybe? T-6 wooden sticks weren't bent like that.

Just received an off-WIX email suggestion that the control stick might actually have come from one of the cockpits of the JN4D Jenny. Anyone have a good quality photo of a JN4D control stick for comparison? Dale

Here's a comparison between a linkage attachment assembly remanufactured specifically for a JN-4 restoration ... ... and the linkage attachment point on this control stick: Dale
