If you are building a pit , home made pedals or want some custom control equiptment take a look at this:

Genius F-23 MaxFighter Joystick

I know its cheep and nasty and you would'nt want to fly with it but:

If you strip it down for parts you get:

4 analog pots worth $10+

8 push to make buttons incl 2 miroswitches worth $5+

1 8-way mini-joystick

1 USB2 contol board worth $60+

1.8m USB lead $2

All this for less than $10

this allows you to build a set of controls with 4 anolog levers. trim wheels , flaps , prop pitch , throttles etc... and up to 12 button funtions for gear levers/winders ,dive brake levers, and covered switches for drop tanks , detach , wingfold , bale-out (stuff you need but dont want to press accidentily)

I have one I am building into my Master pilot and a plastic box for trim wheels (Blank CDs make good sized trim wheels)

GuitarMan has one he is building ito his simchair.
