'Surplus NAF 1173-1 or 1174-1 with the single trigger switch work well and still allow use of the control lock. I don't recall for sure, but it might require moving the stick to the side and bring it into the lock from the front.

'Check on eBay. There used to be some surplus places like Banaire that carried them too. There's probably boxes of them hiding somewhere! I haven't looked in awhile.

'It's the 1173 you want. The 1174 is for intercoms and doesn't fit on the stick. Lance Aircraft has those. They have some other multi button ones. Maybe you could combine them to create a single button using the blank cap?
