Doubt it will be so easy on the X52 since there's no nut and thread arrangement

You dont need nut like in cougar to extend your X-52. In fact are more easy without this thing.

Yep, the hard part of extending x52 is not finding the right nut and pipe - it's actually the easier as you don't have to worry about threading.

The harder part is probably the need to work on the 15 wires that runs from the base to the stick. You'd have to make 30 connections. Still it's not hard, but it's tedious.

Thanks Sokol1, recoilfx. Did you extend with internal or external (i.e. larger or smaller diameter) tube? You would have to secure it to the grip pretty well because of the rudder twist or did you use the existing pin arrangement?
