Dual flight controls for simulator

[Shawn]

I have posted this over at madmodder but thought some of you might not visit that site and would be interested in seeing two of my hobbies getting combined. I plan to read the control position with Hall effect sensors which should give me really good resolution as far as input to the computer goes. The pocket bike steering dampers are just about the perfect weight to give a slight hydraulic feel to the roll action, the pitch damper will hopefully get installed today. First thing I have to do is make a pivot rod for the right side, its a bolt right now and a bit sloppy. Plus the bushing I made for the right side are the same diameter as the .500 reamed hole so not a tight enough fit. They will get remade again today and I will install the same thrust bearings that the left side got. Hopefully that will tighten everything up to the point there in no slop in the system at all, at least not noticeable.
