This is what i was able to dig up so far,

 

There are two NSN's (national stock number) associated with the part number. 1680-00-881-0121, assigned 01 Jan 1960 & 1680-00-957-2477, assigned 01 Jan 1970.

 

It was made by Honeywell, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin & Joint Electronics.

 

It is coded as an item that is not to be sold.

 

It's for a Navy aircraft, i cannot dig up which one it's for.

 

It costs $15,053.00 I'm willing to bet you got a better deal on yours... I've tried searching pictures of aircraft cockpits too, but got busy here at work. I hope someone else can help...

This is a C-2 Greyhound cockpit....

Not sure when the C-2 came into service, but I think it was in the early 80s. The C-2 is a development of the E-2 Hawkeye, so I think it's probably safe to say that this came out of an E-2.

Very nice item. I believe the C-2A goes back to the mid 1960s.

Well heck, I learned something new. Thought they replaced the C-1 in the late 70s. Production of the C-2A started in 1965. Cool!

I apologize for sounding so ignorant but what do the M, I , A , T Buttons do and what is the function of the cone shaped "things" ?

 

Thanks so far to all that have helped.

The two "cone shaped things" are probably electric trim controls. These are used to control electric rudder trim and aileron trim inputs. We used to call these "coolie caps".

 

The "M" button is probably a Mic button used to transmit the radio.

 

The "I" button is probably the intercom transmit.

 

The "A" is probably an auto-pilot disconnect.

 

The "T" button is an unknown to me ??? Sorry.

"T" is for trim. The cone things are switches too. You either depress or depress and hold the trim button while pushing the cone the direction you want the airplane trimmed.

I work next door to a C-2 squadron, i work with a guy that transfered from that squadron. Here's the scoop on the buttons...

 

"I" ICS ( Interphone Communication System) used between the crew.

"A" AFCS disengage

"M" Mic (transmit from the aircraft on the radios)

"T" Trim release

:D I was lucky, I got them right, except for the "T" trim release button which I did not know.

More good news! These yokes are position specific. Both the pilot and co-pilot yokes have the Trim button on the inboard side so that would make yours a pilot's yoke.

I looked into my C-2A Grumman Greyhound documentation and found this.

I know this is an old posting, but may be interesting.

 

I do a model plane of the C-2 and would be very happy to get some measurements from your yoke. Please see the second image at least what I need to come close.

 

Any help with C-2A Parts is more than welcome.

 

Please check also my Webpage at http://www.c-2a.com or http://www.c2greyhound.com

 

Thanks, Boerries

Need at least some measurements to make my scale model...... :-)

Hi: I bought and refurbished that same C-2 wheel a few years ago for my collection. It's packed up in a box at the moment but I should be able to get it out this weekend. I'll provide the dimensions you need.

That's great. THANKS. Always more data are better data.... :rolleyes:

 

Maybe there are more C-2A Grumman Greyhound parts out in this world. :mellow:

 

Meanwhile woking on the nose gear.

Hi Boerries:

 

See attached diagram with the dimensions.

 

I'm assuming that is a genuine nose-landing-gear you're working on. If not, it's a heck of a scale model. Either way, it looks great.

NIck, thanks a lot. I'm working on the CAD, but it is not so easy as I first thought.

 

See the attached file. It will take some time before I'm ready. I see that the drawing is not perfect and the view to the control yoke is in a stronger angle, So I can't use them realy.

So my control yoke is more or less a better guess with your dimension informations.

 

AT least my scale 1/14 pilot, what will be a 3D scan of my self will be fine with the yoke. :-)

 

THANKS
