HELP with finding Russian switches

[molevitch]

Hello Sim-Pit Builders!

 

I hope someone can help me find the following.

 

I need some switches to restore a Russian Mi-24/Mi-8 collective and cyclic.

 

So I need a 2 x 4КНР and also 2 x covered switches/buttons.

 

I have searched online and found "evidence" of plenty of these switches, but have had no luck so far in sourcing any. And Russian is not a language I speak....

 

 

If anybody knows where to get them, and that do not cost $500 each, I would be very happy to hear. And if anybody has any to sell, please let me know.

Use Yandex translate (not Google, which sucks at Russian/English translation) and ask in the Russian forums.

Brilliant, thanks. I did post there with a Google translation version. I will try with Yandex.:thumbup:

I have stick from Mi-26, if you need, I can sell it for you.

Black knob is just a hat switch. I used one from an old Suncom in my Ka-50 collective.

 

 

Buying milsurp is just not my approach to building, but Patriot has you covered. :)

 

Good luck with your build!

Thank you Patriot!

 

I really want to try to find replacement original switches. I see your Mi-26 stick has some of the ones I need. How much do you want for it?

Thank you -Smil-,

 

I hope I can find some reasonably priced originals. I can always get good alternative, functioning ones. I just fancy some of the real thing!

4КНР - very expensive, ~90$ for one new original. Best way find analog for them.

 

For stick I want 270$. I can make best photo.

For the hat switch, a APEM inc, 500-526 series switch for $35 brand new may work.

Too much for me! I just spent £350 for the cyclic and collective I got (great price for the 2!). Sadly, the collective does have a 4 way but the hat has snapped off...:( Think I will have to make a new one).

 

Bizarrely, the 2 way switches are only $10.33! So maybe I get one of those for the cyclic, which is probably correct anyway, and some uncovered switches from asenergi.com, anmd make my own covers for them....:smilewink:

 

I was able to fix the main trigger which has 2 switches in one. Needed a little fine adjustment.

 

Here's what I got.

 

 

Pretty cool!

 

Thanks again for your help and suggestions.

Yes, now I have to rebuild all the gimbal work I had started using the Lynx cyclic.... And I guess sell the Lynx piece.

 

See you Sunday!
