Very awesome! What controllers did you use for the base?
Thank you, I'm very pleased with them.

 

The base of the cyclic is the Thrustmaster pro flight system. It is the first version with metal base and very strong springs.

Later versions where plastic.

 

The collective uses the thrustmaster TQS throttle base, modified to supply sufficient friction so the arm stays wherever it is placed.

I still need to mount the collective base.

 

If there is interest, I saw the same pro flight base on ebay for under $50.00. You could build a cyclic for $120.00 to $130.00 if you have a old joystick to use. Does not need to be T.master.

 

Anyone can pm me for help if wanted. I will be glad to assist.

 

Flying with real controls is amazing! Going to take a little time to get used to them though.

 

Highly recommended!
