Details.
A control grip is the one thing in the cockpit your hand never leaves, which makes it the right place for warnings and for the functions you use in a thermal. The LX joystick is an ergonomic grip in hand-stitched genuine leather, with a vibration motor the LX 10K or Era drives and buttons the instrument reads.
Warnings you feel
A warning you have to see can be missed with your eyes outside. A vibration in the hand cannot. The instrument uses the grip for the alerts that matter most — a collision warning from the FLARM, a stall warning — and adds the sense of touch to the sound and the screen.
Functions under your thumb
The grip's buttons go to the instrument, which maps them to the things a glider pilot does mid-thermal: switching between vario and speed-command, marking a pilot event on the logger. What each button does is set in the instrument.
Fits the stick you have
Made for a standard 25.4 mm (1 inch) control column, with the cable routed down the stick to the instrument.
Works with the LX 10K and the Era. For a self-launching Schempp-Hirth, order it with the engine starter button; for electric trim, with the trimmer button.
