Default Replacement transmitter knobs

Does anyone know where I can get replacement knobs for the sticks on my transmitter? I really hate the ones that are on my Realflight Interlink Elite transmitter control sticks. I is made by Futaba. The knobs that are on this thing really hurt my fingers. I want some that are round or that do not have those spikes on them.

I tried Tower and Dubro. Either I didn't identify them correctly or they don't carry them.

Well, I turned them around so that the knurled ends are pointing down. That seems to work.

Hey CG. I just did a search for gimble sticks, and came up with some replacement parts. Most of the one's I looked at did have the points on top, but I did not look at all. The few I did look at are not " cheap" by any stretch. $20.00 for two little pieces of Aluminum, made on a CNC, that spits out hundreds if not thousands a day, to me is a bit much. This is 2012 though. I have spent alot more than $20.00 on some other stuff that I shouldn't have.

A file will also work to knock the points off.

There are those way cool round disc things that go on top of the Gimbel's. One of the guys I fly with made some out of wood on the shop lathe. Being blessed I walk into my LHS and hang a fast right turn , walk to the wall and they are all there. New Gimbel's for most brands. Duct tape will also cure your pain as will the side of a grinder.
