Need Source for Slip-On Foam Yoke Grips
I've seen slip-on black foam grips that you can use on the skinny mid-60's
Cessna control yokes. I'm not talking about the leather wrap covers - these are like an open-cell spongy foam that just slips over the yoke "horns". I've searched King, Sporty's Aircraft Spruce, the archives, all to no avail. Anyone have a source? Thanks; Carl |

It breaks down within a year... it leaves sticky black flakes on your fingers and hands... it turns grey with age... it loses its resilientcy. Go for the leather covers. They last longer, look great, feel good, can be cleaned with saddle soap. |

Got them on mine. Dan |

An outfit called Warren Gregoire & Associates used to sell them. The number was 800-634-0094 in 1995.

Thanks to all; hadn't thought about the cycle shop - that would work well.
Looking through the Gregoire site, it appears all he has now are the leather wraps. I dunno; they just look a bit odd to me. Guess I'll have to check around and see if anyone local has some installed so I can see them firsthand. Thanks again; Carl "Carl Orton" wrote in message ...

Go back and take a look at the "slip-on grips". http://www.warrengregoire.com/aviation-slipongrips.htm That's what I bought for my 150.
