Hi, :huh: But for the "pressure" in the correct direction, you have to move your thumb. It is still a joystick, where the deflection (10° for the OTTO J4 type) of the head determines the value you want. And if you release the force, it return to its center. So you have to search the position again? With a 4/5 way coolie I can trigger the wanted position which is hold until I change it triggering to the other direction. For me this behaviour would easier to use while steering the cyclic. I use a 4-way on my cyclic for my beep-trim system, a self-centering function would be counterproductive. :cry: On a camera where the thumb can rest on the coolie, this function is really nice.

Hi, are you really able to control the position with the transducer while using the Cyclic to control? I would prefer a clicable solution, where I can move my thumb away.

Hi, change the oil to a differential-oil type with very high visco number. And fill them to the max. But you should use a dampertype without these useless reservoir.

Hi Du brauchst aber 4 Loadcells und ein passende Software, da Loadcells nur in eine Richtung arbeiten.:music_whistling:

Hi, :music_whistling:we used a 3D-scan I made. But this is really only for the start of the modeling. The shown scan has 1.400.000 points with nearly 500.000 sides

Hi did you ever try to make a good and functional replica via a 3D-scan? The scan is only 1-3% of the work you need for a good version.:music_whistling:

Hi, because the OTTO Thumbstick was to expensive, I designed a mini-thumb-stick with an interior 5-way mini-coolie. For this I changed my previous adapter, which I used since I started my replicas. This adapter should have the same outer diameter as the OTTO part (measured from an original B8-grip). Now I change the coolies from my 4-way with encoder to this new type. I can use it with other heads even as no turning 2-way stick, like the increase-decrease for the UH-1 collective I think that a 4-way on the cyclic grip will be more usefull, than an analog input. :music_whistling:

Hi, hm, we got pictures from the Austrian-Army (not Australian :music_whistling: ) for the OH-58A cyclic grip. Left in the double picture, that shows my WIP for the grips. And we got a German-Army Huey grip. BTW: for the A type, the collective seems to be the same as for the Bell 206 Jetranger. But the D-Type did not look difficult

Hi, nicht immer so klein denken: :pilotfly:

Hi, nur zur Info, meine Rift CV1 hatte ziemlich genau das gleiche Verhalten nach einem Oculus-Software Update. Nach Ticket hatte ich die zur Überprüfung eingeschickt und eine neue CV1 erhalten.

Hi ähmm, nö:

160 kg???? never. Aber die Bremsen kannst Du auch blockieren :music_whistling: Du könntest aber einfach für den Weg noch einen Hebel dazwischen setzen, bei Verhältnisen ungleich 1:1 kannst Du den Weg auf jedes beliebige Maß bringen. Aber wieviel Grad Ausschlag hast Du bei 120mm?

Hallo EvilBert, die "Bremsen", das sind sie von sie nämlich aus meiner Sicht, haben einen Hub von ca. 70 mm und natürlich auch 2 Augen mit Ø8mm Bohrung. https://shop.microhelis.de/Hydraulische-Bremse-70mm-Hub

Hi, Pedale schon, aber doch keine Toe-Brakes:music_whistling: (Bild habe ich den Link angepasst)

Hi, hat aber mit Huey eher nichts mehr zu tun, oder?:music_whistling: Ansonsten verwende ich für die Toe-Brakes eine kurze Gasdruckfeder. Die 10kg die aktuell dran waren, sind aber schon ein "Fuß-Training"

ja, ich benutzte auch den A1302.

Hi bei meinen Sensoren verbaue ich kleine zylindrische Neodym Magnete Ø5 x 3 oder x 5 Der A1302 detektiert die Nord-Sued Achse und kann sinnvoll ca. 120° (30°-150°) erfassen. An den Pedalen oder Toe-Brakes machst Du schätzungsweise 20°-30°, also lohnt sich da auch ein Getriebe.

Hi Ste, the toe-brake-plates can be added to the new pedal set. In my opinion they need a lttle bit too high force (8-10 kg) to activate :music_whistling: Steering the helicopter with activated brakes is difficult. But I never sit on the controls of a real helicopter or plane:pilotfly: I try to get some gas-springs with lower force. This plates are designied like the Blackhawk plates.

Hi, for mounting to a rig, I designed this:

Hi, perhaps this could help:

Hi, this will be the full 0° mount version. 86mm above floor:(

Hi, I will offer this base mount in a horizontal version too. The 22° version is only usefull with short tube sidemounted on racing seats and in my opinion not very ergonomic.:(

This is the finished version, with elastic in the lower edge

Hi this is the version with build in BU0836 board and matrix board in the collective head. The boot get a minor change on the bottom line. (picture follows)

Hi yes, it will be available for ordering in some days. But as special design it will have a longer time to produce (and higher cost).:( @Mr. Fenestron: I would prefer the longer version. :music_whistling:
