THAT'S ABSOLUTELY BAD-ASSIN!
Got more?
So when you say "cyclic," could that also mean "collective?" That might work too.
I like mods like this. It's like The Original Green Pride.

Yep, still have a couple, not sure if I'll have extra's yet, you'll be the first I let know.THAT'S ABSOLUTELY BAD-ASSIN!

Well, the collective in an H-1 usually has flight idle, engine start, throttle, searchlight functions etc. it's pretty boxey compared to the cyclic.
might be a bit cumbersome for a shift knob.

Here are some pics of the 39 install, making an adapter for the shifter in the deuce, will post pics when I find my **** camera (I just love moving)
first two are of the stick location, third is the fuse panel and relay center that connect the stick to various car functions, in this case stereo vol, radio tune, cd track, hi/lo beams, turn sig, door releases, trunk release, horn.

My friend, that is a Whole Lot of Kick Ass(tm).
Terrific way to combine disciplines. I like it a lot!
So what do the switches do? Line lock, N2O, Afterburners and TailLight Blackout?
In my case, the pot/joystick would be good for either a rv-camera or centering the steering. I can come up with uses!

Finally got around to installing the new shifter knob. Had to bend the shift lever a bit to make it sit just right. Now just have to connect it up. I went with an old grip from a GAU-17 mount for the UH-1N. Its made of the same materiel as the old shift knob. Replaced the indicator light with a thumb switch so I would have a two switches, the trigger and the thumb.

I've got plans for one of these at least. They are cast resin of some kind. I was handed a bag with them in it as a gag. Not what I always wanted, but with some grinding to remove the excess at the base, ought to make a nice shift knob. These are decent size about 3.5" tall. I figure 0.5" uranium glass marbles for the eyes and a little paint.

I have a few 30 MM shells laying around would like to turn them into shifter knobs one day.
But right now the only thing correct on the whole thing is the knobs so they are staying.

I always thought that a set of brass knuckles would make a good shifter handle.
