I wish I had your skill at creating these things, I’ve thought about it forever just never had the nerve. Lately I’ve been thinking of making more modern ones like the mig 21 or 29 but always look at the old and go “I like that”.
Old is good (!) - It seems there are so many Boeing/Airbus type controls out there but not so many accessories for 'real old stuff', and I like to make things out of metal to give them a more realistic feel, rather than plastic or 3D printing. Thanks!
@Tim Higham Sadly I only have access to 3d printing and no ability to weld or cut metal. Been trying to get together a mig 21 v3 flight stick for dcs... not fun. Anyway wish you luck everything looks amazing.
Hi James - It's the same Leo Bodnar board, but no HE sensors, I used potentiometers this time. There is one potentiometer on each of the Airscrew and Throttle controls, and then the Mixture/Cut Off (back) lever just has 2 microswitches to give an on/off configuration (used for certain models of Merlin engine I believe). Hope that helps! I must get around to making a video on the inside workings of the unit...
@@TimHighamFlightSim That's great, Thanks :) I have a bbi32 waiting for my cockpit build. It's only in planning stage at the moment, but I've been looking at making my own throttle as there is only one commercial model available for the F-14. I might do a vlog so I'll let you know if I do. Keep up the good work! :)

Hi Tim, This is really good :) Did you use HE sensors and the same Bodnar board in this as in your flight stick?
