Dave

the basic idea came from this guy

I hope this may be help I made a few changes because he designed more for turboprop aircraft and I wanted to be more  looking  for an kind of  jet I add two extra ponteciometers for elevator trim and one for rudder
I'm sure when you'll be building your own, you will make your own changes .Chuck I did not wanna take pictures of the inside of the main box becaude is a mess. I mean it's a madness of cables and ugly things, DISORDER all over,I did not designed to be seeing. but anyway it work
and never fail me

La verdad es que te ha quedado lindo.

Si uno ya tiene pedales y el mando, asumo que uno podría hacer la caja con los demás controles, botones y palancas.

How on earth did you get all of that to interface with your computer? ya ra;;y that stuff is awesome

Its easy i just put a based potenciometer with a metal base down,there are not two throlle, only one but to make its sensation more realistic i add another 2throlle its dummy the 2nd one and the reverse i put a microswitch in one of little stering(do you know that little cover that caME in atx tower that you have to remove to plug your new for ex video card or audio card PV)well thats what i use for i sticked and two little plastic boxes and inside i stick the microswitch,in fact there are two conecctions i bought and destroy and a USB keyboard to make double interface between usb keyboard and gameport Ill try next monday to draw the reverse steering mechanism because its very difficult to explained for me into english anyway
its not a big deal  but its being very usefull and havent broken yet

    cheers Ben_M_K

what about the third,...lol Now its my turn..2nd look closer my pictures, Ben Its made of wood by my self form a flat table table 16mm, i draw the shape and cuted with that electrical thing(dont know the name in english its like a drill but for cut tables) then with a knife i make the final touch,its just paint ,
and about the third,talk to them about your proyect,perhaps even they can help you,at least your developing something with your own hand,you know,i have a son 4 years younger than you Ben,i wish to see him making something by himself,it would make me feel more proud of him...

As Mr. Spock used to say:

Obviously the result of a lot of imagination and hard work... I like it.
I'm very curious about your pedals: can't tell how they work from the pictures. Do they move back and forth, or what?
