  1. And here's a photo of the finished unit...
  2. Just posted my latest project on Youtube - Spitfire throttle; full control of throttle, airscrew plus switchable 'off/rich mix' levers - all constructed from steel and aluminium. All dimensions are as near to the original aircraft as possible...
  3. Great work - very interesting! I'm also making a throttle but for a slightly different aircraft - Spitfire! (work in progress)
  4. And here's a short Youtube video of the joystick in action...
  5. I have just completed this full size flightsim joystick, made from steel and brass, loosely based around the beautiful Royal Aircraft Factory SE5 stick (first flight around 1917). The brass paddles connect to microswitches which are wired to the Leo Bodnar control board for the main joystick control. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions...
  6. I have designed a full size aircraft joystick based around the IL2 Sturmovik WWII fighter. It is mainly built from steel and aluminium, and uses a potentiometer on each axis connected to the excellent Leo Bodnar control board. I have added motorcycle steering dampers to each axis as well, which gives the stick a more realistic feel to the stick. Feel free to get in touch with any questions!
  7. Think Bodnar are just covering themselves as they would rather people didn't do mods directly on the boards. Having said that building joysticks and cockpits is all about doing modifications, so with a little care there should be no problem. Have to say the Leo Bodnar range of boards are excellent, and at least if you do brick the board, it's not too expensive to replace! Have just used their BU0836A board on my recent full size 1920s joystick construction and it works beautifully.
