Push to talk where PC is

[Dick Denenny]

I have a ' E that has had the Positive Control removed. I've looked but can't find a topic, but has anybody put in a push to talk in disengage on the yoke?

Sounds doable. The PTT switch that Mooney uses would probably fit in the hole. You will need a machinist to make an adapter that fits the hole. You could 3D print one too, but a machined piece would look better.

On my last E model, I did this.  You’ll be able to find a PTT that will press into the PC hole, I was able to use the vacuum tubes in the yoke to route a pair of fine wires through to the switch, solder them on and carefully work the wires back and pressing the switch into place, make a connection to larger gauge wires in the yoke behind the clock.

Thank. That is exactly what I was looking for. Mine is and E model too. I'm wondering if I could legally drill into the yoke to make the holes larger?

My 65 C used the standard hole, and a standard switch… and made a nice PTT set up…

Of course, I wished MS was around at the time to get the Brittain system working correctly instead….  
 

Then a vac switch in the panel would have been even better… to go with the PTT…
