PM sent. I'm in for one seat kit and a stick kit next week. I have a real parachute container. Will that fit on this?

[Flim]

Awesome, yes a real container will fit.

[*Rage*]

Is there a support for the WH throttle?

[Flim]

The side console mounts will come separate because it takes another sheet of material to cut that I don't have that budgeted in the seat kit. They will be priced fairly...

 

I Should have that option out this weekend along with the Huey seat kit. The Huey seat kit will be $289 plus ship. The official announcement will be on the Huey seat collective thread later on.

Before I get too excited about this actually I should ask can we expect a su27 pit?

[Flim]

That is my next project... Russian Ejection seat.

 

I need some good pics, or some info and I will start working on it pretty quick. I would also like to do a Grip mod for the warthog.

Film if you manage to do a grip mod for the TMWH stick you would've cracked the hard boiled egg as I call it.

 

I looked into it but inside the stick grip I discovered a PCB with a chip which must be handling the inputs of buttons to the base and that's where it lost me I was thinking the Teensy 3.0 is small enough to fit in there but I have no idea if it would be able to interact with the base.

 

I just want a Huey grip I hate the TMWH grip for the Huey its just to big and cumbersome sometimes.

 

I'm also on the look out for a stick that is the same profile as the Huey stick your extension looks awesome but is there any way for you to maybe create parts in the guise of bends to replicate the profile of the curve of the sick shaft if that makes sense.

Sold! I'd be interested in a Russian style seat and grip mod for sure (flanker ideally). Be sure to make it compatible with the stick extension!

I have a few ideas for POTS stick that may work. Gimme a few days and ill let you all know... Hint its from an ultralight and is really inexpensive.

[Flim]

I was looking into custom made shafts, need to look further...

[WildBillKelsoe]

I wish I was in the states... my back hurts everytime I go on a mission... you guys are lucky!

[*Rage*]

Would you consider another run of these:

Whats the difference this time round? Seems to me the metal construction and metal throttle mounts would be better (budget permitting)?

 

Count me in as a customer if shipping to the UK is reasonable.

[Flim]

Don't plan on it... The welding takes a lot of time and is heavy to ship. I'm using the wood now myself and works just as well.

[*Rage*]

Kinda feel like I missed the boat on those. They look really well finished..

[Flim]

Ya, powder coated steel is nice, but a little overkill if your using a center stick...

Which as you know...I will be:)

 

So hurry up and make them already!

[whartsell]

prototype "bent" stick extension

 

All I have found a local company that's willing to do small runs of bent sticks...I still have to try it out and possibly tweak the bends but here is what I have so far.

 

 

Let me know if there is any interest in these

[Flim]

Can't wait to get mine!!

[*Rage*]

Do you have a rough cost?

[whartsell]

best guess so far is about 55 bucks each. These are not aluminum but stainless steel. Actually easier to bend but harder to paint (powder coating would be best). The good news is that they will polish up nicely if you choose to do that.

 

Assuming all works out well it would be a few weeks before the initial batch is ready. I Just started testing it out.

 

 

(yes my stick is worn..it gets used that much...just ask my wife)

[Flim]

looks very nice and professional!

Lucky guy!

[whartsell]

I got the prototype installed and it works really well. Since the stick is bent you must drill and secure the spring adapter to the stick. The hole is in the adapter so you just need to match drill the shaft to the holes. This is stainless steel so be sure to use a good bit and drill

 

As not to usurp Flim's thread ill start a new thread for this mod tomorrow.

[*Rage*]

Looks good indeed. Does the exrra weight of the steel affect the feel/flying?

 

Could you estimate shipping to the uk?
