I'm trying to make a springless joystick, I don't like having to always fight the spring on my stick. I'd like it to just stay where I put it. AFAIK that's what real flight sticks do to some extent.

 

I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge of how real flight sticks are mounted and gimballed and how they achieve the springless-ness. Pictures would be great.

 

Also if anyone has any good insight into how a real flight stick feels I'd be very interested in that.

Light the tires kick the fires!
