More Clipwing photos. The control sticks and assemblies were disassembled and bead blaster. The control sticks had been cut short and a 3/4 inch tube installed for a smaller diameter grip. I spliced in new 1 inch tubes for new vintage grips and machined plugs for small push-to-talk switches. The trim handle assembly was badly rust-pitted, a new lock nut was welded in and the assembly was primed and sanded a couple of times to finish out the pitting. New springs for the trim handle were sourced from McMaster Carr. The handle was sanded smooth, then nickel plated and all the small hardware cad plated.
