Scale Soaring UK

Hi folks. I am planning to do a bit more flying this year and have acquired a Royal Evo 9 channel tx which is very nice but the sticks are a bit short. Has anyone any idea where I can get some longer sticks that simply screw in place of the existing ones? I have found some with extra knobs/switches but seek just simple sticks.
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
I don't know the Evo, but have you tried checking if the barrel of the stick unscrews to extend the length.
This is certainly the case on other radios.

Chris,
On the mC4000, you turn the sticks 90 degrees, and then you can pull them up. Not sure if the evo is the same.

The barrel on the sticks is held in place by a grub screw. Slacken this and you can slide the barrel up the sticks to lengthen them.

Chris, the Royal Pro was shipped with alternative sticks, including short, long and long with additional switches. I guess you got yours 2nd hand and the different sticks were not supplied. Might be worth asking Mike Ridley if he has any spares, I'd let you have mine but they are the ones I use!

Note the sticks on the Royal Pro are different to the Sx (which uses the Profi gimbals).

Thank you so much gents.
The answer is that multiplex seem to supply them.
The set was new (but a special offer) so I shall try the supplier.
I had spotted the tiny screw but allows you to increase the stick length only a little. Still it is something.
I shall let you know how I get on.
I've said it before: great to see the Forum working this way.
Thanks!

Chris, is that a new Royal Evo or it's successor the Sx,

Good point Frank. It is the SX in fact...

Ah the Sx uses the Profi gimbals but with short ends, if you want longer sticks then the standard Profi stick ends should do the job. I have heard of some Profi owners fitting Sx ends so they can thumb fly with it (heretics ), if you put a wanted ad up you might find somebody with some original ones surplus.

Brilliant thanks Frank. Got to be with a go! how do you know all this stuff?

I have some short and long sticks from a royal pro going spare.
I seem to recall you are in Shropshire, as I am, so we could meet up and you can see if they fit.

Drop me a PM with you telephone number.

Regards John

Yes please John!
That would be amazing.
Cheers

ps shall pm my contact details

Thanks guys. I find there are some very knowledgeable people in our group.
To cut a story short Sussex Model Supplies were able to help. A pair of sticks are on order for under 12 quid.
It seems a lot of folk use thumbs these days but there are a few of us who prefer
something to grab hold of.

Sorry mine didn't fit and I wasn't able to help Chris, glad you got it sorted out.

Not at all John. Lovely to talk to you and the Multiplex history 'lesson' was fascinating!
