Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! It's not actually for an aircraft, I should have been more specific. It's for a PC control unit I'm putting together to replicate airbrakes and flaps, since I don't think anything good exists at the moment Cheers Tom

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Air brake handles Tom, Airbrake handles are no problem, as blue bicycle grip s will do the job. Available from any bicycle retailer. Trim knobs? A little more difficult, unless you can describe the shape of the original. Typically, these control knobs have a 6 mm internal thread which is a metal insert into the plastic grip Any handy person with access to a lathe could produce such an insert, which would then be epoxied into a suitable knob. such as a green plastic ball. I think that most commercial glider facilities would have expertise to the skills require for the fabrication of a trim knob. I hope this helps you. What I have described applieS to a glass fibre gliderS. IF YOU NEED HANDLES FOR OLDER STEEL TUBE FUSELAGES, THEN PLEASE GET BACK TO ME OFF LINE. regards Bob Ward -----Original Message----- From: Tom Wilksch Sent: Sunday, June 04, 2017 5:54 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.
