Hi Baur,

I think I understand.

Because the two levers put equal pressure on the bearing attached to the stick you can release it in any position and it will stay there.

Am I correct ?

Very clever design and superb engineering.

Well done,

Andy

Yeah, right! But it's not all! Having the same mechanic, you can do pass through the center stick control sensitive or not. For this we need to replace the two levers and change sensations of motion control stick Availability Center - constant discussions with our pilots' flight simulators.

Andy, here is a pedal - http://avia-sim.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=584 http://avia-sim.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=575 They are simple, but I think it will be interesting to see. They are similar to the fighter Bf-109 and FW-190. And from the Mi-8 helicopter.

Getting Started. Still need the size that I requested from the beginning.

This do??

Amazing model!! Well done..

Update!

Slow progress. Finally I could mount the buttons. I got a free set from Boandlgramer (thank you m8!!) and I also bought a set from the Tarmac guys. Well, the final button setup is a kind of mixture of these. I am very happy with the result. They look and feel great! I need to drill some holes and cut some threads for the button fixing screws. I will do it soon. I can`t wait the paint this beast:)

Hi everyone,

after almost a half year, some hundred hours of planning, experimenting, handcrafting and spending a few hundreds bucks my project has come to an end:)

As a last step of machining I had milled the holes of the button holding screws.
Then I started to paint the stick. That was realy fun. After studying lot of reference pictures I used semigloss black for the stick and gloss black for the junction box.
I decided to make some weathering on it, so now it shows some patina. I sanded some paint down here and there, and made the screws corroded a bit with vinegar:).
I mounted the sign plate and finally soldered wires to the buttons. Finally I could install the trigger properly and trim the trigger spring.
Now everything is installed and fixed, all the functions work properly, ready for some future action:) All along the project I have tried to stick to the real Steuerknüppel as much as possible, and I am very happy with the result.

Thank you all for following and commenting this thread. Thank you for your help and ideas.
I am especially thankful for my friend VO101_Menyus, who made the casting for me,
to Balazs Schuller who helped me to find a solution for the "Fischhaut",
to Horst Rienecker, who supplied fantastic original parts and valuable information about the real thing,
to Hans "Boandlgramer" Schmid who generously offered and sent me super buttons
and the Tarmac Aces, who also supplied me a set of buttons and their piece of art works were really motivating as well.

The next task is to build a proper base for this grip. I already have some ideas and I have begun to make design sketches. I will open another thread for it soon.

Cheers
MM

And here are some more pictures of course:)

That's something to be proud of. Brilliant work!!

No fair showing a real piece, claiming it to be a replica.






Quality job! You might expect calls from all around the world now.

Thanks chaps

Yeah I think I will just quit my job and start a small KG13 producing workshop, right on Monday:D

What JAMF said.
Fantastic work, csaba.

But if you really want another job, then you are MY man .
