Thanks for sharing the brake lever files. It certainly makes the Mosquito easier to handle on the ground.
I note that your modifications put a keyway onto the magnet holder to lock it in position relative to the lever. Using this, I got only about half the expected output; from mid point to either full or zero voltage depending on the orientation of the magnets.
I modified my version to get the full output range by shifting the magnet slightly so that it travels over the full length of the sensor, not just from the center to one side. The lever moves a bit more than 30° so I moved the magnet 15°
Also, if the magnet(s) are inserted so that the South pole is uppermost, then the axis does not have to be inverted in the DCS controls setup.
Attache are the modified files. Please feel free to use them if you wish to include them in any updates of your program.

Success! It works perfectly - just like the real thing.
I printed only the modified side plates then ran a 3mm pilot hole through the main body and the lever. Then a 6mm drill to enlarge the hole in the lever and the recess on the main body. Not ideal as this was not solid but mainly infill. However, it worked, although it would be better reprinting all the parts.
Here are the modified files for you to use if you wish to add then to your project.
Feel free to use any of the pictures or text in our messages. This has been a great project.
