Compulsion Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Can you legally fit a single joystick to a Jab170 24 registered instead of the U shaped joystick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herm Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Can you legally fit a single joystick to a Jab170 24 registered instead of the U shaped joystick? Yes you can. However it needs to be one supplied by Jabiru and approved by them. I am sure you will be able to purchase one from them and then have it fitted by a level 2 ( Mick) Mardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Isaac Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 If it is factory certified 24 Rego, I don't believe you can legally make any change unless the factory has a certified version with the changes you propose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JabiruWeekendWarrior Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Can you legally fit a single joystick to a Jab170 24 registered instead of the U shaped joystick? Compulsion, Jabiru told me I could have it as a option, This is also available when ordering a new Jabiru. I ordered a single stick, my LAME has fitted it to my Jabiru. My Jabiru J160 is 24 registered. The Single stick gives the illusion of more space. Only possible negatives more difficult to hold stick while working the brakes while taxing around when windy. Also only space for one push to talk button, limitation if used for training. I bought the following items from Jabiru spares back in Aug 2011 and purchased what the LAME thought we would need. The prices are from last year and exclude GST Jabiru part numbers: Qty 1 x 310508N Tube handle pivot long $28.29 Qty 1 x CPM3A003N Foam grip $3.85 Qty 2 x 3000A94 Washer UHMWPE 1x3/8x1mm $3.41 for two Qty 1 x 3000C84 Spacer control pivot $5.30 Reuse one of the cap and PTT buttons from the double stick. I hope this helps JWW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 You don't need an L2 to fit it either because it's a privately used aircraft. If you're mechanically minded and you reckon you know what you're doing go ahead and do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compulsion Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks JWW. Parts on order from Jabiru. Price seems the same as you quoted or even a little less. Thanks Thirsty. Yes i think I can fit it myself even though I am not all that handy. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
