Control Stick Tubes

Posted On May 27, 2025

(May 27, 2025) The control / joystick tubes come a little too long, so I needed to cut them down to an appropriate length. To find the right length, I sat inside and held the my Tosten military-style grips at what I thought was the proper height. To my surprise, I came within a few mm of what was recommended in other channels (e.g. this post on Sling builders group on FaceBook) which was 370mm. I used a standard plumber’s pipe cutter and then powder coated the tubes black.

I added a hole to the end of the tube, into which a set screw fixes the position & angle of the grip.
