To each their own, right? \:\)


no malice taken...
you seem content with your creation...
i wish there was a sure fire way to do things, and u had goals which i assume you achieved.
i have my own, first i didnt know what i want, but through the trial and error process, im fiding out what it is that i am looking to achieve..

i wish i just had plans, the materials and instructions right in front of me, like a model kit...but no, life dosent work that way, unless, you want to spend 4000$ for a copycat setup or some other.

today i brought rubber, didnt know there was a science behind it. i think i pretty sure where i am heading toward with the materials i am acquiring.

you know, at first, i was like WTF..why is this pro throttle so loose...now i understand.

anwyays, i appreciate your suggestions and experiences in this sim pit building world.

we are proving to be joystick engineers!

NOTE..I did an upgrade to the foot pedals...puchased http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PMPXNO=1870315&PMT4NO=44543103

must have for linkages...i was trying to avoid any un-necessary play and gaps for the foot pedals...
i was using stamped tie-rod ends, that gave me 1/8 of play (1/16 for left pedal and 1/16 for right pedal) ..but with these puppies, i got it down to 1/16 (1/32" for each pedal)...

I am content with what i did ...i really hope to finish the collective soon! i friggen want to fly...mastering helicopter will be intresting and new chapter for me, in the preparation of black shark and BATTLEFIELD 3 (something tells me my next project will be the bathroom 1.e. renovating)
