Thank you. How much gearing is acceptable without risking a sloppy stick reaction in you opinion? What is the max RPM of the motors?

Hi, what is the rated torque of the system you offer?

Hats off! Great engineering! I truly admire people who are ready to learn completely new skills just to reach their goal. :) How hard would it be to increase the torque for a long shaft stick (lets say 20Nm)? In addition to the obvious replacement of components like gimbal, gear, motor, is it straight forward?

From the video it is obvious that the refraction will shift the position of the objects. Just look at the white bar at around 4:34. My question is, how it would compromise the aiming? The revi is on the inside of the glass, and you aim on a shifted picture presented though the refraction. It sounds like your aiming will be way off.

This is absolutely stunning. You could literally wrote that the pictures were taken in a real aircraft`s cockpit. I am looking forward to see the rest of it:)

The early E models didn`t have the tailwheel lock, it came later. And it certeanly was a nice addition considering safety especially on paved runways. In many aspects the Spitfire was quite an oldschool aircraft for its time. The Bf109 was more modern and revolutionary when it came to cockpit ergonomy, system automatisation and pilot load. The British often chose the good old way over the new solutions. The spitfire was manageble without tailwheel lock so it was good enough for them.

I am really looking forward to see your finished stick. I would like to do the same with an MSFFII but with a much higher output torque for a full length stick. I wonder if it was possible.

Nice:) Designing and working assembly lines is a great field to pick up both mechanical and electrical knowledge.

That`s a sweet printer you got there. You have quite a skillset considering all the work you have done . Can I ask what do you do for living?

Insane quality! :thumbup:

Wow this looks like a terrific product for 500USD, considering those large aluminum castings and those dampers/gas springs as resistance component, which is a Huuuge pluss! Let`s hope the material quality is not totally crap as usual with TM`s high end flight products.

With this Pittman motor that would mean a crazy around 1:200 gear ratio to land at 50Nm with a resulted output speed of 14RPM :P It doesn`t look good. I would need a much larger motor to achieve this high torque, but then the FFB2 control board is the bottleneck. I am a glider pilot in RL and I love Condor as well. Flying gliders in condor doesn`t require a very high torque indeed. But I would like to build a stick which can be cranked up for higher loads to fly warbirds as well.

Hi Thadiun, I like your concept about building a solid solution based on the FFB electronics, however I would like to build a full scale control column with higher torque. Would it be possible to connect even bigger motors with higher gear ratio to to the FFB2 electronics with some modding? I am still dreaming about 50Nm :)

Actually I sent them an enquiry last summer regarding their CLS-E cyclic. Here is their answer: "unfortunalely we do not have experice with ED DCS yet.we directly support X-plane, prepar3D and MS FSX with our CLS2SIM Sw enviroment. https://www.brunner-innovation.swiss/product/cls2sim-software/" I don`t find this very appealing. Even if they decide to support DCS, you still cannot use your high end stick with other sims like CloD, BoB, Condor or whatever comes up. The CLS-E cost 8000EUR by the way :cry:

It looks very authentic!
