Thought I would give this a try .. I am the proud parent of a F-4 Egress trainer ... The one thing I am in need of the most for it is a B-8 grip for the stick ..

Cheers

RJ

If you're looking to electrify, I noticed a couple of other possibilities.

I believe Aircraft Spruce offers a replica B8 for sale (which would be ready to wire in). Banaire offers a B-8a, but I don't know whether either of these would be compatible to your Phantom stick.

And no--electrical is definitely not my thing either. I'm a learn-as-I-go metal bender.

Dan thanks for the links, will definately check it out ...

I have given though to how big a project it would be ( I don't think to large or outrageous ) to create the fuslage area around the front cockpit area ... I would guess it could be done with a wood frame and sheet metal ...
