Tosten grips for y-stick?

Hello everybody,

I am looking for grips for our CH-750 CruZer but believe that this applies to all models.

I would prefer the smooth surface of the Tosten grips over the Ray Allan foam grips but am wondering whether they would even fit due the their wide ‘ring’ at the bottom?

My concern is that if I use the same grips for the pilot as well as the passenger, the ‘rings’ could collide.

I was therefore wondering if anybody already successfully used these grips? They seem to be very popular in the RV crowd, I however couldn’t find a single Zenith with them.


This is what they look like. I circled the ‘ring’:

I don't have experience with these, so take it for what it's worth, but even the Ray Allen foam grips interfere with each other (you just squish them together). I doubt there's anything other than plastic in the bottom rings on the Tosten grips, so you'd just have to trim the grips to fit together. I would probably cut the whole bottom off because the Y stick creates a place to rest your hand, so that ring wouldn't be useful on the Y stick.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your response.

I'll reach out to Tosten and ask them for dimensions.

Ummm, my Ray Allen grips (G205 pilot side, G101 copilot side) do not interfere with one another on my 701 Y-stick, is the 750 stick different?

Interesting - I wonder if my 701 sticks were cut down by the builder. The RA foam pads are squeezed together at the bottom of the Y.
