The guy has updated their plans, now he aim for a entire joystick. Seems that will use the same electronics of MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedal - the MFG SiMM8Rge controller. Adjustable coils and damper pressures. More specifications there: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2412060&postcount=585 BTW - The standalone F-18 and others grips for Warthog/X-55 bases still planed.

Sorry for the silence folks, but as usual, silence means work.
Turned out an industrial size non-metal laser cutter is a big priority. There will be engravings on the grips and a panel on the throttles, along with actual cockpit panels I plan on making. Also my custom 3d printer is 80% laser cut plexiglass and many other tools and jigs also. I had plans to outsource the cutting, but quantities became too large, or their lasers too small and too expensive.
So, for the last month or two I've been designing my own 2x3m laser cutter, which will in turn be used to make several 3d printers and panels and engravings needed on all the products. There's also a custom packaging foam cutting machine, cnc painting machine and many other tools I need to design and fabricate myself in order to make this project industrially and financially viable. That is, on the scale I have in mind at least.
Parts are arriving, things are in motion. But, in that 1% chance the large scale plan doesn't work out, I'll just switch to plan B and start producing these on a smaller scale, with some outsourcing and with a little less profit.
So don't worry. They're coming one way or the other. I have some backups, so in case my laser cutter runs into problems or delays, I have already outsourced parts for a few 3d printers so I can proceed with the grips themselves. They should be operational next month, so I hope to have functioning warthog grips out there by the end of this year. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=104154&page=69(emphasis mine) SWEET!

So I take it he's teaming up with MFG? That's good news if so, Milan is great to work with, very professional and passionate about the hobby. I suspect this stick/grip will be very expensive, (I could see the whole kit costing close to $1k shipped to your door) but worth every penny!

Wow! What a neat and unique idea to propose clamping those sticks to your desk. That's game-changing, IMHO.
