The KG13 thread

Hans-Joachim Marseille · October 23, 2013

In anticipation of two WW2 combat flight sims, I would like to start this thread on the KG13 (Knüppel Griff 13; used in the Bf.109, Fw.190, Me.262 and copied in Russian fighters like the La-7 and "modern" L-29).

From the ATAG forum and VKB FSC Europe's Eduard; http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5957.

VKB plans to release a metal KG13-like grip (from the La-7) in Q1 2014, to go with their upcoming Fat Black Mamba base (Su-27 like plastic grip, metal base). VKB FSC Europe website; http://flightsimcontrols.com/.

Finally a ready-made grip for us WW2 aficionados.

VKB is also depeloping an interface for the Thrustmaster Warthog flightstick, for said Fat Black Mamba base.

For the hardcore hobbyist, there is VO101MMaister's excellent KG13 project as an appetizer;

This project uses a Hungarian-made aluminium KG13 mould as base.
