Pilot-Built Aircraft Controls, Emblems, Placards & Specialty Parts

If you fly an Experimental aircraft or maintain a classic airplane, you know the small details matter. I design and build throttle grips, cockpit controls, aircraft emblems, placards, smoke-system controls, and specialty parts that solve problems, replace hard-to-find originals, and make an airplane feel complete.

Designed, manufactured, assembled, and tested in Marion, Iowa.

What I Make

Throttle Grips
Throttle grips designed around real cockpit tasks—PTT, Smoke, TO/GA, COMMS/ICS, Flaps, and more. Controls are positioned to reduce fumbling and keep your hand where it belongs.

Control Knobs
FAR 23.781-style Prop / Mixture / Trim / Alt Air knobs and matched sets designed for identification by sight and feel while giving the panel a finished appearance.

Aircraft Emblems & Badges
3D reproduced emblems and badges for classic aircraft including Cessna, Piper, Mooney, Beech, Learjet, Aero Commander, Seabee, and others. From control-wheel emblems to hard-to-find exterior aircraft emblems, these pieces bring back details that decades of flying can damage or make difficult to replace.

Smoke System Hardware
Pilot-developed controls and accessories designed to simplify wiring, protect components, and improve operation of Experimental aircraft smoke systems.

Placards, Tools & Aircraft Details
Maintenance tools, aircraft placards, identification pieces, and specialty parts designed to solve the small problems that come with owning and maintaining an airplane.
