23rd_SATAN Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) I heard back from Bugeye and Aerotronix... You better be sitting down for this. Bugeye wants $12,500 for the F/A-18C HOTAS... Aerotronix replied and said their cheapest grip is $4500... Another $4500 for the throttle... Another $4500 for the rudder pedals... Edited May 25, 2018 by 23rd_SATAN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sierra99 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Wasn't there a post a while back about a replacement Warthog stick being something like $150.00? I used the electronics and switches from a TM Cougar Stick I got off eBay in a Suncom Talon. I Stripped the electronics from the Suncom PCB and used it as the mount for the switches. I used the Suncom 13° angle and 15° offset available here: ( https://www.shapeways.com/product/ASNZ3QZMY/shaft-suncom-13-deg-angle-and-15-deg-offset?optionId=62816796 ) And a Gardenea nut. You can go the same route for an AV-8B Stick as well. The biggest different is the Harrier Castle Switch and Weapons selector both use a switch with a "Z" axis. (Push down) Where as far as I can tell, the Hornet only uses cardinal directions.

Sokol1_br Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Wasn't there a post a while back about a replacement Warthog stick being something like $150.00? Last year some guys buy one grip by ~$ 110/120.00 but recently quotation was $ 175.00. I used the electronics and switches from a TM Cougar Stick I got off eBay in a Suncom Talon. Is not need buy a Warthog grip for have a Shift Register PCB that just cost ~$ 10 in OSPark - plus few components ~$5. Some guy in these forums can sell Shift Register PCB assembled.
