von_Michelstamm Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Saw the early prototype had a textured grip. Has anyone looked into doing this on this on their production model, with a rubber sleeve or something?
Sokol1 Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) The model of VKB KG-12A with knurled texture is the prototype of metal version, project (an ~$200 two buttons, two HAT grip...) shelved indefinitely. For Gladiator, the additional cost in molds for knurled don't justify propose of this stick, fit in "entry-level" category. In Russian side of this forum an guy mod their Gladiator (plastic) grip, adding knurled with laser engraving tool. Edited July 12, 2019 by Sokol1 1
Beazil Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Tape it up if you like. Your local sporting goods store should have different textured tapes for things like hockey etc. Should work well with minimal investment and maximum customization. Just take your time. 1
Sokol1 Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Think this guy use an bicycle grip cover from Aliexpress. https://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/1893-наши-кабины/?do=findComment&comment=588059 Nope, he use this material - for shoe makers, seems glued with (dental) acrylic glue: "Микропора 3мм черная (ромб)" https://www.livemaster.ru/item/13411135-materialy-dlya-tvorchestva-mikropora-3mm-chernaya Edited July 12, 2019 by Sokol1 1
