Leather
control yoke covers have the potential to transform aging
and/or cosmetically distressed control yokes into
beautiful and comfortable piloting tools, including the
look and feel of a state-of-the art push-to-talk system.
Our skilled leather craftsmen start with the finest
imported black or beige lambskin, known for its soft,
supple, flexible texture. They individually hand select
the leather for grain alignment and degree of
flexibility. Only small portions of each hide may be
suitable for this demanding application.
After the hand selected leather parts are painstakingly
cut to size, using extremely close tolerances, a backing
of sponge-like polyurethane foam plastic is added to each
of the leather parts. They are sewn and/or bonded using
special techniques and equipment.
Next, each part is installed on a model control yoke
(usually a genuine factory yoke for the airplane being
fitted). The fit is evaluated and the size is then
adjusted to compensate for the individual stretch
characteristics of that particular section of leather.
After the fitting process is complete, Velcro fasteners
are attached to the edges of the leather parts, allowing
them to fasten to themselves, in "zipper-like"
fashion. The linear seam is in the rear, facing the
control panel, out of view. The Velcro is on the inside
of the leather, where it cannot be felt , or seen.
Looking at the rear of the control yoke, one sees the two
halves of the leather, in abutment.
If the leather cover is equipped with the optional
push-to-talk system, a miniature red push-button is
installed in the leather, using a molded epoxy resin
buildup which houses the button and conforms to the
contour of the control yoke. This technique enables the
button to have a completely solid feel- just as if it was
actually built into the control yoke, itself. Teflon-
coated, silver plated wire is embedded in the leather, to
extend the push-to-talk circuit to the exit point
(typically beneath the control column where visibility is
minimal). Here, a retractile cable (coiled cord), five
feet extended length, completes the push-to-talk wiring
connection to the avionics. The instrument panel end of
the retractile cable is equipped with a microphone plug
and jack (receptacle), to allow fast and easy plug-in
installation by the owner/pilot. Optionally, the plug and
jack may be removed and the coiled cord "hard
wired," where appropriate.

Just plug-in the push-to-talk system!
SHOWN ABOVE: three
piece full control yoke cover set
with built-in push-to-talk system for a 1966 Cessna 182
Skylane.
When you order the built-in push-to-talk button, we
supply it to you completely wired with a coiled
cord, plug and jack for easy, no hassle
plug-in installation. The coiled cord exits below
the bottom center where it drapes beneath the control
column, nearly invisible.
Leather control yoke covers are available for the
majority of piston powered single and twin engine
aircraft. Typical pricing is $140 per control yoke, plus
$40, additional, for each push-to-talk we build into the
leather covers.
Each leather control yoke cover set is custom
manufactured to order. The shipping date is usually two
weeks after the order date. We air ship each order,
immediately upon completion. Air shipping and handling
cost for continental US orders is typically $16.
International air mail shipments are $23. Express courier
service is also available, at an extra charge.
Even though each leather control yoke cover is custom
manufactured to order, we offer a 30-day, unconditional,
money-back guarantee which begins upon the customer's
receipt of the product. If not satisfied, they may be
returned for a full refund of the purchase price, less
the aforementioned shipping and handling charges.
If you don't
see your control yoke below, don't worry. The following
photos represent only a small sample of the myriad of
different control yokes we have covered with padded
leather, over the years. We can custom manufacture
leather cover sets for virtually any aircraft. Just call
us toll free, 1-800-634-0094, and we will tell you
whether we can make them for your aircraft.
