Hi guys,
 
 Several years ago when I was finishing my RV8 I decided to put in the
 Infinity stick (2 of which are also in my Super ES).  When I ordered the
 grip I spoke with the gentleman who developed it and asked him about the
 buttons.  He suggested that the collie hat be pitch and aileron, the
 trigger be PTT, flaps on the toggle with momentary down and lock up,
 boost pump on another button, and ENGINE START on the top button
 opposite the thumb side (hard to reach without an effort).  The reason
 he suggested this...if you have an engine out in flight an have to
 restart...you never have to let go of the stick.  Think about it...one
 hand on the stick...the other on the throttle...you have to let go of
 something to get to the starter.
