Are Super and T-Stik handles interchangeable?
« on: June 09, 2002, 09:11:21 am »
This is following on from my previous posting.

The Ultimarc T-Stik and the Happ Super joysticks have handles that look very similar. I am wondering whether they are interchangeable.

You may ask why anyone would want to swap a handle for an identical looking one. Well the Supers are height adjustable whereas the T-Stiks are not.

It would be nice to have a height adjustable T-Stik.

I think the shafts are thinner on the japanese sticks.

The T-Stiks are not japanese. In fact they are manufactured by the same company that makes the Supers - www.industrias-lorenzo.com.

No they are not interchangeable. But are you sure the Super is adjustable? I have one and can't see how you would adjust it.

I don't yet own a super, however my understanding is that the Supers come with two different height spacers that fit just below the bat shaped handle. You end up with a different height height joystick depending upon which of the spacers you fit.

At the bottom of the joystick are several grooves (one corresponding to each spacer) where the circlip can be fitted.

Grasshopper is right.  You can adjust the height of the super joystick by changing out the spacers that come with the joystick.  The happ controls website shows the two spacers in the exploded view.
