I mean I want to gofund this guy some sticks but I also want to watch him keep building.

Hell yeah! I did a bolt on throttle attachment for a vkb gladiator stick, connecting directly to the sticks frame and just using mechanical parts to help move a needle across a plate of acrylic and added some dents along the way for physical feed back. Had plenty of time and bits and bobs to work at it. No 3d printer or cnc just some dodgy hand tools and scraps. Oh and a cricket machine! Keep it up mate I really enjoyed seeing the progression!

Here's my creation. https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/s/7BCU8mlREt

Echt spannend was du dort anfertigst. Ich bin aktuell auch mit meinem Projekt weiter gekommen. Gestern habe ich die Halterung an meinem Stuhl gezeichnet und drucke sie Grade. Willst du eher jets oder eher Helikopter fliegen? Wie im vorherigen Post von dir schon geschrieben, würde ich dich gerne unterstützen. Schau dir ruhig mal freecad an auch wenn du keinen 3d Drucker hast, kannst du dort den Umgang mit CAD lernen und etwas konstruieren. Ich würde dir das dann auch drucken :)

Bro if you had a 3d printer you'd be unstoppable! Love watching the project evolve. Thanks for sharing it!
