Zou are aware that the top of the column bends to the sides right?
Yeah, very strange I always thought. I still do not understand how that would compare to say the typical control column. Edit: Actually, wrong word compare. Rather why that was chosen over the typical control column.
As far as detail, this is my first attempt to I am going to basically make a column that i will attach to my saitek stick. I stripped my saitek stick into pieces and it looks easy. The wiring should be easy. I will cut the wires and basically extend them. I will keep the hat switch and the firing buttons and attach it to the spade handle to look HOPEFULLY a little like the Mark V's and up(I think)
I think it would look cool with a highly detailed spade handle though. Ya never know though LOL. I will send pics when it's done and let you guys be the judge.
I tried this years ago by extending the column of an old joystick and it worked nicely. THis will just be a bit more complicated because I will be making a new grip. If it does work and looks good I may think about doing a spitfire cockpit. Who knows though.
