Joystick Washer mod anyone?

[cenkcnk]

Hi guys,

I am currently using complete ch set (fighterstick-pedal-throttle)

I like to fly with both planes and helicopters.

For heli flying, i heard that a joysitck without centering mechanizm provides very good results.

for this i am planning to get a defender cobra and making a washer mod. (plese check the link and also pdf file)

 

second and expensive plan, is to get a warthog set and make same mod on my ch fighterstick. (i think ch fighterstick and cobra has very smilar gimbal systems)

 

which way do you think i should go? 

 

second queston, if i buy a warthog, will i get good results? ps: i don't like stiff and sticky sticks.

I dont see why use a Warthog for this heli'mod.

 

By removing the springs in Cobra M-5 gimbal and ad washers to make friction is possible the grip retain their last position to keep the flight attitude required by heli flight.

 

Cobra M5 is good for this because is entirely in plastic so his grip light and have good number of functions - their mode switch can triple the buttons functions.

 

Or you can easily make this "mod" in your CH Fighterstick, as Cobra M-5 gimbal is based on CH model, so the same apply.

But at same time will make then unsuitable for fly planes, so a dedicated joystick for heli is the ideal solution.

 

On the other way Warthog grip is heavy, almost one Kilogram and off CG with "nose" heavy, what will work against the friction principles of this "mod".

hi sokol1, i am not planning to mod a warthog.

 

cheap plan:

keep current fighterstick as plane flights & geting a cobra m5 and modding for helis

 

expensive plan:

getting a warthog as plane flights & modding fighterstick for helis.

Well, in this case take a look inside Fighterstick, to see if possible/practical add the washers. This mode is reversible.

 

IMO - Fighterstick, due his soft springs and ample angles movement - almost 30+30 degrees - is better joystick for WWII dogfight's than Warthog.
