180° StartStick Adapter - 100572

The 180° StartStick Adapter - 100572 is a practical accessory designed to improve visibility and ease of use when operating a StartStick portable GPU on aircraft with downward facing GPU receptacles. This adapter externally reorients the StartStick connection by 180 degrees, allowing the display to face upward and remain easily viewable by the operator during use.

Many Bell helicopter GPU ports, including those on the Bell 206L, position the StartStick so the display faces downward when connected directly. This forces operators to bend or reposition themselves to view critical information on the screen. The 180° StartStick Adapter solves this issue by flipping the connection externally, keeping the StartStick display in clear line of sight throughout GPU operation.

This adapter is also well suited for De Havilland Dash 8 aircraft and other platforms with similar GPU port orientations where display visibility is limited.

Key Features

• Flips the StartStick GPU connection 180 degrees externally for improved display visibility

• Ideal for Bell helicopters, including the Bell 206L, where GPU ports cause the StartStick to face downward

• Enhances operator ergonomics and reduces the need to reposition during use

• Simple, durable accessory designed specifically for StartStick portable GPUs

• Well suited for De Havilland Dash 8 and other aircraft with similar GPU port layouts

Designed for aviation maintenance professionals, ground support crews, and helicopter operators, the 180° StartStick Adapter improves usability without altering aircraft hardware. It is a smart, operator focused solution that makes daily GPU operations safer, more efficient, and more comfortable.
