shu77 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 I used a 22mm cap and used 2 screws to secure the cap to the collective head. Needed a little glue on the thread to lock it off but it did work. 1 Hornet, Super Carrier, Warthog & (II), Mustang, Spitfire, Albatross, Sabre, Combined Arms, FC3, Nevada, Gulf, Normandy, Syria AH-6J i9 10900K @ 5.0GHz, Gigabyte Z490 Vision G, Cooler Master ML120L, Gigabyte RTX3080 OC Gaming 10Gb, 64GB RAM, Reverb G2 @ 2480x2428, TM Warthog, Saitek pedals & throttle, DIY collective, TrackIR4, Cougar MFDs, vx3276-2k Combat Wombat's Airfield & Enroute Maps and Planning Tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixpack49 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 It's also easy had been upgraded from the VPC T-50LH to the VPC Constellatoin Alpha over the T-50, since this Idea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixpack49 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hi I forgot a small hint to connect the T-50 to the VPC WarBRD you need a PS2 extension which then must be adjusted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shu77 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 I get a few questions about this, but I'm not able to release the STL files as they are not mine to release. The owner of the STL files is building his own and i believe still intends to release when he is finished. The Faceplate can be purchased from Tekadept. I still have no good solution for the electronics, one day I will get motivated to build a breadboard to replace the wiring loom if someone doesnt release a custom PCB in the interim.

Jorik Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Could you supply us with the dimensions of the small case left of the main collective handle? I mean the one with the small red button for the laser on it. This would really be appreciated.

I will be putting these on an Arduino with Unojoy so I suppose it shouldn't affect its hat functions.

AndyPeacock Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 This looks amazing. I'm really interested in that USB handbrake, looks like such a good idea for the pivot. I know you said you get a good range of motion on it, but how many degrees do you think you get? Have you got any videos of the collection in action? I'd love to see how the movement works. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyPeacock Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Nice one, thanks. I've just been searching for videos of the handbrake in its intended use and there are loads on youtube so I'm all good. Just need to get one ordered now. The damper addition looks like it'll make a real difference to the feel, so need to pick one of those up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shu77 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Depends on the amount of weight on the end of the collective, Initially I just had the Poly Pipe as an extension and it was quite smooth. Once you start to add weight to it, using friction becomes less effective, the Damper did make a nice difference to the solution. 11 hours ago, AndyPeacock said: Nice one, thanks.
