Savannah/Ventura

Jeeze guys! Put the valve in, pump 'em up, and go flyyyyyyyy............)

Making the wild assumption that ICP supply the same stick grips for the Savannah as they did for my Ventura, what did you Sav owners do about mounting a PTT switch? The hole in the top is very rough, and about 15mm diameter and straight through, so there is nothing to hold a switch in place. What am I missing?

sfG I cut a little disk to fit in the top of the tube (from one of the 6061 offcuts), with a little tab on each side going down into the tube, riveted these in place. Drilled hole for switch.
It may have been raised in the centre to get the switch high enough, can't recall. Was a quick job.

That looks like the switch might mount into an end plug in the tube. You could machine a little plug from a chunk of acrylic or similar or just buy an end plug for furniture tube to mount the switch into.

I would just go with the sheet metal: a simple job with material at hand and quickly shaped to bring the switch up to the right height.

You can use wood, aluminium or steel, to make up spacers as required, to make a good fit in the top of the stick.😈
