Hi sorry for delay, was out of order some days with migraine headache:cry: Now I thought I was ready, but I have to change the multipol-cable which I made to short for this short version :music_whistling:

Hi, na dann solltest Du jetzt aber einen weichen Teppich neben den Stuhl legen. :pilotfly:

Hi, ich hatte mir den Teilesatz bestellt. Schnelle Lieferung von Andre. Zoll und Bearbeitungsgebühr hat der UPS Bote direkt kassiert. Am Abend war mein Smatzsitz umgebaut.

Hi, THX for the advices. Unfortunately this is an approved shop system, with all German restrictions, which limits some possibilities. But I can create a complete configuration by helicopter type. This would be similar to the "full set" picture from Trip.

Hi folks, can you please help me to make a shop description, where everyone can understand what parts are needed:cry:? In my shop the controls can be configured and for every control you can select the control and button boards. Therefore most people think, that every control needs one set of them.:( you need at least 1 joystick-controller. The Bodnar BU836A can handle 8 axis and up to 36 button/switch. Each moving control need one axis, so for a helicopter you need: 2x cyclic 1x collective 1x rudder 1 or 2 throttle makes 5 or 6 axis. This can be handled by 1 board. Even pedal-brakes could be added to make the 8 possible axis complete.:music_whistling: The BBI can only handle switches and buttons. In my EC-120 cockpit I use 1 joystick-controller for the axis and 1 BBI for the button and switches from the cyclic grip and collective box. At moment I am testing my FTR with a power box, with my boards inside. From this central point I made the connection to the PC. A 3D printed standalone box for these boards is in development. At moment all controls are designed to be mounted directly to or under a floor. Next I will offer boxes for mounting above and a complete rig-system. But these parts are still in the designprocess. And I think, that I will make DCS-Bios based parts to make complete powerpanels and perhaps get my analog instruments connected.

I directly ordered only the parts for the JetSeat, so I have only to arrange them under the cushions.:music_whistling:

Hi after getting my JetSeat parts from Andre, my Smartseat is transformed to a massage-seat.:pilotfly: The only change I made: I added some centimeters of cable and 2 4-pole clamp-connectors because I have to guide the cables on the backside of the seat. And I can fold the seat if I remove 2 screws from the base. and here I signed the positions time to transform 2 hours including 2 cups of coffee :thumbup:

Hi, would this help? I needed this angle too.:pilotfly: It is taken from the UH-1 in Bückeburg (helicopter museum, germany) and confirmed with the UH sim in Hamburg. The switchplate is nearly vertical in higehst position.

Hi this is the way I use the A1302 Hall-sensor: it detect the rotation of the N-S poles. So you can detect a rotation of nearly 170° The A1302 can be connected like a potentiometer. (+ / input / - ) For less rotation like in the cyclic I use 3D-printed gears to spread the angle from 20°-30° to over 100°.

the wiring is pretty simple I think. Button and switches: black wire is common, simple connect to one of the GND contacts on the BBI other colors to the numbered B(x) contact. Colors from the list some posts before.:music_whistling: Sensors: simply plug the 3-pole contact to the BU Joystick board. brown = GND orange = inputs signal/ level red = +5V

Here comes the coolie switch:pilotfly: Coolie-3D.pdf

Hi heloguy, in your collective box, it should be easy to connect the "center" for the coolies. here is a color to function table, I try to make for all further controls: :music_whistling: for the coolies I do not know, whether the directions are correct. I changed to a 5-pole cable for the switch, where the red striped is common! In some minutes I can give you a picture which pin you have to connect for center.

Hi, if I can get some good pictures and dimensions from the original grips, why not.

Hi heloguy, the 4-directional stick switch offer this function, but it is not connected.:( The switch also has an encoder function. In the EC-135 collective I use a 24 pole cable and 3 are still available/unconnected. RKJXT1F.PDF

Hi, today we got a cyclic grip from CH-53. Can someone tell a productname to me? Is it a variation of the B-8 grip? We will design the upper part and join it to our B-8 grip and offer this cyclic grip as changeable configuration for our UH-stick. The intercom-button seems to be with two directions: down for intercom "IC" and up for "PT". What does "PT" mean?:huh: External com?

Hi, some impressions.:music_whistling:

Hi Trip, a you sure that someone uses the friction, just above the floor, when starting and slowing down the rotor???:huh: The FTR makes this function additionally when activated.:music_whistling:

Hi Chic, the material we use for my cyclic boot isn't strong enough to make a perceptible influence. it is only a thin synthetic leather. We have black and silver shining to make the collective boot.

Hi Trip, what do you want to achieve with it? I thaught that this function is for parking only.

Hi, this is what my wife made for my EC-120 simpit today:

Hi Chic, can you checkout, whether it fits? We will design a boot for you too.:music_whistling:

I can make some carbon-fiber inlays.:music_whistling: But I think the leather boot looks better. for those who cannot use the sensors directly, for the Bodnar board exist the DIView tool. Which is linked in the shop in the board description.:music_whistling: And here too: DIView .

:music_whistling: I changed my mind..... So the stick-tube has 30mm more length. And I think the sticktube and the enclosure can be covered with a stick leather boot.:pilotfly:

Hi, here is the design for a "special" mount.:music_whistling: :pilotfly:

Hi, here is a template (PDF) Cyclic-base-template.pdf for the under floor mount.:music_whistling:
