I purchased the kit for a different possible use. I am building a Vans RV-8 and am going to attempt to turn the files into a mold that I can use for carbon fiber forging into a stick grip for the plane. Will see how it goes. Thanks for a great file to build off of.
Hi if you need a model that you can print in one piece for a mold, I would be happy to help! You can email me directly at questions@thesimnet.com
I purchased the kit but its my first time trying to build a joystick and I'm struggling a bit with the PCB and parts list information. Is there any way we could get a little more breakdown on the components to purchase separated by using PCBWay or not? I just don't want to purchase too many parts. I also can't seem to figure out how to get PCB way to partially assemble the board like in your video. Either way, amazing piece of kit! Thank you!
