Joystick Extensions

[|| Andy ||]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a extension for my Cyborg Evo Force?

Some conduit pipe and some extra wire!- You may want to try it out on a practice old stick first. Probably raise it off the ground a foot or so, and have it "contained" on the bottom so you cant over do it with the side forces. A long flight column will produce alot of leverage. 2 1/2 feet would be the max i think. Im looking into this also.....as soon as flaps etc are relocated to a panel  :P  A real pistol grip!! Get a gun-check gouge and check it up...One button for bomb release, ye,- cool!!

Not sure if this is the sort of thing your after, it's not for a Cyborg Evo Force, but I guess that the principal is about the same.

Hi there,

This stuff is really expensive, but it's properly engineered and looks beautiful - out of my price range, but it might suit as inspiration if nothing else.

My only question is if they are going to ask you to shell out this amount of money, why would they use a stick unit with a trigger that is likely to break after a couple of months use... My Saitek of old went that way and I swore I'd never touch another.

I think the first one, the one where the dude made it by hand is much better, though the bit where the stick moves (that hole thingy) could be made bigger... Alternatively you could lower the seat height meaning that you would have to do less extending- the second site had a valid point about 'losing control'.
So, you probably need a bit of all three- doing it by hand, opening up the base bit thingy and using less extension.

Yeah,
Thx people    ;D

Gonne have a serious think now..

The only problem here is the joystick.
What are you using? I wouldn't waste  AU$110 on a Logitech, as if you stuff it, theres no going back.

Another posibility, I make one extension for X-45 with aluminium, only 21 centimeters of extenrion because with more lenght i have many problems, the work of thir its very good and no problems with the return to center position.
