darkstar130 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, I'm making this post to try and centralize some of the dimensions that everyone knows on how to make HOTAS's for the black shark and the cockpit, I've seen a few on the flight collective but I'm hoping that we can get some general measurements of the whole cockpit as well. Cheers I have a dozen or so solidworks models with rough dimensions. I'll upload those along with preview pictures.collective_stick_mk2.PDF Edited April 23, 2012 by darkstar130
Froglips Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Great idea. Wish I had your drawings when I built my collective. Kurt "Froglips" Giesselman wishing someone would do a two seat sim like LB2...I ain't much of a pilot but I am a helava good shot.

PeterP Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) I would like to invite you to browse through this Threads - as they contain a full-load of drawings and references about the KA-50 cockpit: KA-50 panel drawings Dimensions of the Ka-50 - cockpit Abut force-trim /FFB for a realistic Trim-behaviour: Helicopter Force Trim building .. / Two MS FFB2 with Cougar Grip and of course the "mother"of all KA-50 pit building Threads:Uuuuaaaah..! I have started building now..! - worth reading it from start to the end as it contains so many useful info! I'm sorry that I can't add some dimensions , as I never use a ruler when I start "scratch-building" something... I do my things that it just feels/looks right. ;) >>>My collective build: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86015 ....but, I have some small corrections for you: and don't underestimate the necessary of a working collective-brake. It adds a lot to your level-flight stability when having the Alt-Hold AP-Channel on ! (Something I newly learned after having my collective finished. And using it will soon become a second nature like pressing the trim-button) Edited April 24, 2012 by PeterP
