Well, besides being very practical it's also very visually appealing.

I rate it 9 out of 10 for looks, 9 of 10 for functionality and a perfect ten for craftsmanship. Bravo!

Wouldnt it be about 2 bizzilion times easier...AND more practical to just remove the joystick handle, extend the wires through a hollow PVC pipe (the hot water thick kind), and then reattach at the top?

No loss of features,....and it would be....well gooder.

Maybe it would be, but it would never have the class of the one he's made.

At least the wiring around the broom stick is neatly tied off.

Come on!   I can't see through my tears of laughter to type!

Best joke in years.

there was a guy who posted how to take a thrustmaster apart, and actually spot weld or something an extension, keeping the actual grip and all the buttons intact at the end. he just spliced in extra lengths of wire down the tube he inserted.

was amazing, and looked real when finished. he mounted the base permantly in a cockpit, and it looked like the real deal

i extended mine to, pretty sweet. i used one of my old surf boards and the wax holds the stick pretty still. just used a little broom stick type thing and taped it on there. i wear my wetsuit gloves to so i have more grip and no splinters. and the racoon kind of keeps me safe, people stay away cause its got rabies. you can stick your hand inside him and make him squeal, he is also another set of eyes watching the screen..........check it out it is sweet
