Froglips Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If anyone has come across good pictures of the cyclic grip from multiple angles please post a link. I am going to attempt to build an exact duplicate of the cyclic for use with PeterP's FFB mod. This will be modeled in clay then cast when I have it right. My wife is a clay artist. Finally something useful from her expensive hobby! 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 February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Not exactly close-ups of the original , but when you dig in this thread you will see that "Triggerhappy" made a lot of research - especially how the gun-trigger works: So, This building thread could interest you: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=494522#post494522 Edited February 5, 2012 by PeterP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sokol1_br Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) One thing missing from the work of TG is the ability to keep trigger folded up, in safety position. They fold only 90 degrees, due different spring used. I think due lack of information about real one available at time. But the system is clearly shown in this photo: http://media.englishrussia.com/newimages/KA454-11.jpg The lateral spring coil do the trick. Here another metod - from a different stick, Su-27 - but work in the same manner, if available space is restrict. http://s017.radikal.ru/i432/1201/3e/1d2905adaf45.jpg From:http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=73623&page=2 :joystick: Sokol1 Edited February 6, 2012 by Sokol1_br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
