Can we see a not so close up of the entire setup. It looks cool but hard to picture the whole setup.  :salute

Exactly! Although I admire photographers who can make a mundane item look fascinating by showing details from unusual angles and that kind of approach works very well in travel advertising, I think you've shown your photographic skills and teased us enough. Show us the big picture!

This is the hard build of my experimental rig that I had been slowly tweaking for years. whereas its not to actual spec in dimensions, its dam close because of the nature of how it works with the body in an enclosed space. All pivot points(knuckles) fit my body. Its now rock solid vs being soft and wishy washy like the tryout rig. makes stick stirring impossible, my pots have zero jitter now.
If I only had that innate ability to fly................

Spitfire control column
P-51 peddle configuration
DIY throttle idea. has the basic throttle movement but the buttons add a puter interface.

Yes as title hints, I use this in game. The stick does not make the pilot! The pilot made the stick. he he

Nice!  :salute

As my wife said seeing only the last picture: What's that? A pedal powered harmonium?

These final shots will put a sense of scale to the rig, me in chair.

Does that feel awkward, having the pivot points so far apart on the stick? 
Maybe they are like that in r/l.

Look in a Spitfire cockpit.

I built it wanting to understand this configuration myself. I built a gimbal style as well, retired it fast. Now I would never go back, the spit stick is actually better at orienting you to which part of plane you are actuating. The peddle design I use was not meant for the spit control column but the foot movement is very similar so....................

I'm not a real pilot, zero flying experience except FA and AH, so zero actual knowledge. But I grew up in USAF so I like planes...........

How did you manage to build all this?!?!?!?! :joystick:

Anyone with a little American ingenuity can do this. Scavenge what you can, buy what you must. If I had had a shop... I had my bathroom and bedroom. Good thing I'm not married, the ex would have dropped a kid.......................... .he he

Wow, truly impressive considering the materials and obvious ingenious use of scavenged/spare type parts.  Right click - view image for those zoomed in/larger shots.  Very very cool.

Being a lifetime builder/installer of stuff, it did help that I did not have to buy tools. Tools being the most expensive part. hardware 2nd materials 3rd.

All the different construction materials were scavenged tho. the ring, the wood, pvc, some wiring. Hardest part was soldering leads to the brain module. its only 1"x1" I did not really have the micro tools but......................now leo bodner has something easier, I will prolly upgrade.
