Can anyone identify this stick grip?

I would imagine so. It would make sense.

I had recently learned about the auto pilot function but prior to that conversation I had no idea that a 109 ever had them installed. Am I correct in assuming the Ein/Aus switch below the PTT is for making the weapon switches hot?

I think Rocketeer has the remains of one of these, mentioned in another thread. The extra functions on the stick itself were autopilot controls. The same can be seen on some Luftwaffe bomber yokes.

I’d have said the same for what it came from. What no one has mentioned is what the bits were so I will, though you may already know. Under your thumb at the top of the stick is the cannon trigger, the spoon shaped lever is covering the machine gun trigger and the button at the bottom is the PTT button. I am intrigued as to what the button on the left just below the head of the grip was for though.

Thank you Pete, that is an interesting website. I noticed that some of the other grips have the identification plates on that site but mine doesn’t even seem to have any holes where the rivets would have gone.

Take a look here… its a shame that the main identification plate is missing off the example above, but perhaps somebody here can match Gerat.Nr.102-523A-1 with another example?

That’s sweet

Its German. 109/190/ 262/ at a guess in stunning condition. Also may have bomb release button missing.
Im not good on sticks so someone will be awake shortly and give a bang on answer and I will look like an idiot.

hold on tight to it as lots of Private messages will be heading your way.

TA out
