Sokol1 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Work, but there more practical, effective and easy way to turn a potentiometer for rudder control (and more cheap than a X-52). Edited October 19, 2015 by Sokol1
Bando Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 It was probably a spare one collecting dust. And you're probably right about better ways to do it, but that involves soldering and rewiring. It's quite daunting if you're not familiar with those skills. I think it's great to see how inventive people can be.

6./ZG26_5tuka Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Some of them remind me of this (yea this has really been my first pedals): Not pretty but cheap (20€) + I didn't really care about perfection rather than a "proof of concept". Suprisingly enought they really worked....for 2 months. Than strings began to rip and rubbers to tear off. Perfect for a young guy with crappy skills and no money to get some of the more serious stuff
Sokol1 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) My first rudder pedal - in 1998 - was copy of this: http://www.raafwarbirds.org.au/pedals.htm Work well, until the cables broken in the wrong moment. Edited October 20, 2015 by Sokol1 1
e345spd Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Haha these are great, I think I need to re-purpose some old controllers.... The twist rudder on msfb2 just lacks the necessary precision.

DD_Crash Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 This was my first bit of hardware modding and they worked well but I never got around to making toe brakes for it
Jirokoh Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I'm looking for making my own pedals, because they are rally expensive ! Do you guys have any helpful links ? :D
Bando Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Since I fly with the Crosswind pedals, my CH pedals are for sale. I live in Europe, so if interested, shoot me a PM. I also have a MSFFB2 and a (spikey) Saitek throttle Quadrant.
Jirokoh Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I just got making my own homemade pedals, out of a computer mouse Here it is It's not perfect, but giving the tools a student has in this bedroom, it's not that bad
