The Extension Rod for Joystick ACV Virpil Controls Flightstick 200 mm VPC-602-200 is a 200 mm extension designed to increase the effective length of compatible Virpil flightsticks.

How to use

Install the extension rod by detaching the existing shaft or grip according to the joystick manufacturer’s instructions, then slide and secure the extension into place ensuring a firm mechanical fit. Confirm that any retaining screws, clamps or locking collars are tightened to the recommended torque to prevent slippage. After installation, verify full range of motion and test centering and button actuation to ensure correct alignment.

Usage recommendations

Use the extension with the original mounting hardware and follow Virpil or ACV guidance for shaft replacement. Periodically check fasteners for tightness and inspect the surface treatment for wear. If you experience unusual play or binding after installation, remove the extension and recheck fitment or consult technical support.
