munnst Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 ...I dug around in the garage and found my old, home made joystick. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g372/munnst/FSX/18136247_1851305065133767_234540667_n_zps8zkxhzha.jpg So I renovated it and took the Harvard for a spin. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g372/munnst/FSX/harvard1_zps6rsjpsjo.jpg http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g372/munnst/FSX/harvard2_zpsnm9k8fpi.jpg http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g372/munnst/FSX/harvard3_zpsdla0n9px.jpg http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g372/munnst/FSX/harvard4_zpsmwpodvxd.jpg http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g372/munnst/FSX/harvard5_zpsdkuyxycb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCD Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Welcome back, Edward! Nifty stick, how do you anchor it to the floor? The T-6 stick is very similar, by the way, and that it a lovely T-6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I second Michael's sentiment. (Only in a way less prone to ridicule.) :o -- Bob Hey Bob, Did you ever play baseball? Where I grew up it was called a stick and ball game. ;) When you need a stick, you need a stick. When you need a rudder, you need a rudder. When you need balls, you need those balls! There's nothing wrong with having the appropriate equipment on hand, in hand, wherever, as needed. The task determines the tool/s you utilize! :cool: Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzaro Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 That's pretty intense Michael. I had no idea you felt so strongly about your stick and balls! And no I did not play baseball — I'm more of a pocket pool guy. :rolleyes: -- Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it sure appears your right hand is your best friend/date. :p Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munnst Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Welcome back, Edward! Nifty stick, how do you anchor it to the floor? The T-6 stick is very similar, by the way, and that it a lovely T-6! Well, when I used to use a living room chair I used to place the front legs on the board to pin it down. Now I have a swivel chair I can't do that. However the board is heavy and broad enough that it doesn't move. The stick (gigidy) is long enough (gigidy) that movement is very gentle and so there is no tendency for you to have to make large inputs or jerk it around (gigidy).
