Rufus,The Cougar is cheesy pot metal sorry to say. But if you find one to copy you could fabricate a mount then fill it with resin and no would know. Think Kukki had one for sale maybe the new owner would scan it for you.
I think the actual color the USAF uses is a blue-green...
...ok. So just found that this was just announced from TM at the recent simcon in Houston. If you look close, you can see it includes the HOBO switch!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGPNjTbVcqgFrankly, I still think the Cougar grip is a better "1:1" replica (no idea what that switch above the Cursor is for, and I'm not one for adding switches to replicas - just give me the thing as designed), but I'd certainly want one of these for a desk setup.
HOBO switch?WTF is a HOBO switch?

But why they chose to fuck it up with that scroll switch above the airbrake is beyond me? Specially when they added the console underneath with all these functions, you don't need to add one on the throttle grip.. But... THey added a HOBO switch though!

1. Who is still flying vipers that do not have ALL of their cockpit lighting NVIS compatible?

I think if it does it would switch them to NVIS settings at the least? Those are standard switches in most military vehicles. We even have them in our Police vehicles. lol It's tactical to have a switch that instantly cuts all your lighting off.
Hmm, interesting addition. Must be either fairly new, or not a US thing.So a couple of "riddle me this, Batman"... 1. Who is still flying vipers that do not have ALL of their cockpit lighting NVIS compatible?2. Why in the holy F would you be in injun-country with your lights on in the first place? Second step of the FENCE Check, anyone?
