Orion 2 Finger Lift - Missing Indent for Reheat

[Hassle]

I should have a reheat/afterburner indent piece here right?

I have the finger lift kit, which functions for idle, but I don't even feel the "stock" notch for reheat, and the piece to "stop" the finger lift appears to be missing. Where can I get one?

It should have come in the box. It's a separate piece that screws onto the track.

I bought this as used, unfortunately, and it's nowhere to be found. Are these available, or does anyone 3D print?

First thing, ask the person who sold it to you, they might have it. It's a tiny thing, so shipping should not be much, they could probably send it in an envelope. In fact, there should be two detents like this (although the other is not as useful).

I never saw them available for 3D printing, maybe because normally there's no need. It's not a complex part, but you'd need one to base it on.

You can also try reaching out directly to Winwing for a replacement of that piece. I would recommend saying that you got it as a gift rather than second hand as they say they don't support it if it isn't purchased directly from them. They are generally pretty good at letting people buy spare parts.

I have asked, but they bought it "nearly new," from the original owner and hadn't used it themselves before selling on to me, so he never realised it was missing. I got it at such a good price, If I have to manage without it, I will.

Good idea, thanks.

I'd ask to be put in touch with the original owner, might be worth a try. Alternatively, WinWing might indeed be able to sell the part.

There is no such thing on the Orion2. The missing part is indeed the only way to have a detent.

Mayby try asking in the „Home Cockpit“ subforum if someone can 3D print it.

That explains it. Thanks for the suggestion.
