Krebs20 Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 One day I got sick of using my cougar as a collective. So I plugged in my old logictec joystick and used it instead. Old problem was this it was a little awkward. So I fixed that. So I ripped it apart. I used hot glue for the copper pipe. I think it will hold up fine. Also it holds the wiring in place very nice. And its all good to go. I figure a picture is worth alot more than my explanation. Any questions and I will be happy to explain best I can. The last picture is only a mock up. I took this project with me on the road. I should be able to test it out later. I have tested it on my labtop and its working just fine. Cant wait to get home and start flying with it.

shu77 Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Nice I've been wondering about this, did you think about moving the springs inside so that it defaults to the stick being all the way forward or all the way back? I find when I tried to do this set up with the x-plane choppers that the centre rest position is half throttle so you end up needing to push the collective as well as pull it to get a full range of movement Hornet, Super Carrier, Warthog & (II), Mustang, Spitfire, Albatross, Sabre, Combined Arms, FC3, Nevada, Gulf, Normandy, Syria AH-6J i9 10900K @ 5.0GHz, Gigabyte Z490 Vision G, Cooler Master ML120L, Gigabyte RTX3080 OC Gaming 10Gb, 64GB RAM, Reverb G2 @ 2480x2428, TM Warthog, Saitek pedals & throttle, DIY collective, TrackIR4, Cougar MFDs, vx3276-2k Combat Wombat's Airfield & Enroute Maps and Planning Tools
power5 Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Nice idea, but how do you make the collective stay in place? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Aaron i7 2600k@4.4ghz, GTX1060-6gb, 16gb DDR3, T16000m, Track IR5 BS2-A10C-UH1-FC3-M2000-F18C-A4E-F14B-BF109
Krebs20 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Posted October 3, 2010 Atm the stick defaults to the center position. The logictec stick uses a single spring. When I was playing BS before the mod I could hover very comfortably with hands off the collective. Mostly had to deal with a slight climb. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
