SCC Prototyping

This video presents the initial trial of the Single Control Column base. Although functional, improvements can be made to simplify and speed up printing while requiring less hardware. The next objective is to implement these modifications and finalize the design.

[@ErikYlipaa]

Hello Karl, you are a true inspiration! I'm currently building the updated single control column att it's great to get an insight into the design process like this.

[@alaister1]

It’s great to watch you design/ build/evaluate and then refine even further! Can’t wait to see the outcome

[@rickestabrook4987]

So elegant, I hate to see it made simpler. Great video Karl

[@helimech8152]

Thank You, there's a way more complicated version in the making with autopilot in both channels.

[@berniecelstonenews1962]

Great improvement, well done Karl! 19:04 "Simple is Better". I see a chance it might fit into my self constructed base, that is alligned to your old rudder pedal construction.

[@dcald5175]

Great video, I do like at the end you say how you will redesign, print, and try again tomorrow. That would be a month endeavor for me.

[@B747-4OO]

Great job Karl! 😎👍

[@86abaile]

For the drill guides, create a top and bottom matched pair, both with a flat reference surface. Then it's just a case of putting both drill guides on at the same time and drilling all the top and bottom holes at the same time. Everything should be aligned, since all the holes are aligned with the reference surface when laid flat on your work bench.

[@helimech8152]

Awesome idea, thank you!

[@TheHitman5c]

Sir I love your stuff. I cant wait to start printing some of the GA stuff. I plan on making the rudders for sure and I would like to make the Helicopter stuff as well.

[@helimech8152]

Thank you, I still need to create the 3d printed rudder pedals. but its on my hit list

[@randycarter2001]

You can always cut a half moon notch in the tube to clear the spring. Or clip a 6mm wide 45° wedge from the bottom as well.

[@helimech8152]

Thanks, i did think of that, but it didn't seem elegant.

[@randycarter2001]

@@helimech8152 Saves the trouble of having to remake the parts.

[@No1sonuk]

Is there a reason for not using helical cut gears for the Hall sensor? It would give pretty much zero backlash as opposed to straight cut gears.

[@pascalperrin-bonnet7119]

Very Nice good job

[@helimech8152]

Thank you so much 😀

[@_PSantos]

Hi Karl....looking good and simpler......! All I need now is a 3D printer...!🤣

[@cerrefe]

Nice

[@helimech8152]

Thanks

Off topic question. I’ve seen an LED matrix card wired to to a mega to make 128x64 LED display. Would it be possible to do something similar but have an input matrix? A 64x64 matrix would give 4096 inputs which would be more than enough switches for any project, if each one produced a unique code that could be assigned to an event in the sim. I used to have a card made by Leo Bodnar that had an 8x8 matrix that could have a keyboard command assigned to it.

Hi Karl. Brilliant work as usual .. Do you plan anymore videos on the two motorised TQ strip downs?

[@helimech8152]

I do, but finding parts is hard. its all custom made stuff right now

[@CmdrX3]

Are the bearings all standard sizes, all 608 bearings will be the same size and the same with all 6001 bearings.

[@mariusikageng]

Hi Karl. What is that blue tray called that you are working on? Would make life so much easier for me because I always lose my screws.... and I am not referring to the one my wife says is loose. :)

[@helimech8152]

Amazon blue silicon work mat. (i think they now come in different colours)

[@airforcetrucking1703]

Hi hope everything is well with you! I'm one of your subscribers I'm from the USA I'm very impressed with the work you do it's one of the best.
Would you be intrested in building me a cockpit for a cessna 172 and if the price is right we can work on other projects.
Many thanks

[@lokmanwong7786]

I was expecting a video in another 2 months😅😅

[@helimech8152]

I hear you! 2 months is actually about right!

[@mytubehkjt]

Love your work. Any thoughts of doing a generic fighter stick. Where the pitch link is at the bottom and the roll link is ~half way up the stick.

[@helimech8152]

Hi, not yet. i have so many projects that are half done and i need to finish!

[@StefsEngineering]

I saw on the website that you offer models as STL or CAD + STL. I may have read over it (probably) but can't find what type of CAD files are included when I decide to buy that specific package. Can you tell me what CAD filetype is(or are in case of multiple) available?

[@helimech8152]

Hello, The CAD files are created in fusion, and they offer 12 different types of download file types. Step is certainly the main one i would chose.

[@miket3445]

Karl, what is that blue work surface protector called ……tried to google but could not find similar. Source?
Ta

[@helimech8152]

Hello, on Amazon its called a blue silicon work mat

[@miket3445]

Thanks Muchly! Found it on Amazon ……😁

[@berniecelstonenews1962]

Hi Karl, where do you get 3 halsensors for 20,- ? 16:29

[@cammy9r]

AliExpress and the like often do flash deals, it can take a while for delivery though.

[@Bren39]

You took a day off from work to work on your hobby and then posted to UA-cam. You must work for the government.

[@helimech8152]

Lol! not any more! That was actually a paid day's leave!
