  • So, did the joystick have a rudder (Z axis) with it originally? If so, did you just cannabalize the original rudder pedals to create an improved version? The port on the joystick looks OEM.

  • The joystick had the Z Axis on the stick - not external.

  • well how you conect your pedal in the computer ??

  • It is connected to the joystick!

  • Well, I tried this design and found that the lower pedal would get "stuck" all the way down at full travel. There was also a lot of flex.

    I suspect you have the same problem. Great initial design though. Just needs some "stops" to prevent the deadlock.

  • I allready build the "stops" and also moved the potentiometer and also removed this drive for him an made it push-pull.

  • good build. ive made a flight yoke, collective and rudder from the innards of 1 joystick but not sure how to connect the rudder pot up, id like to see a close up of yours.

  • @tenminless boy ur krazy hahahahaha I dam near fell out my chair when I read your comment!!!

  • QUESTION: Is there anyway you can use a game port rudder with saitek usb yoke and throttle,are is there any mods i can do to get it to work,,my rudder pedals are ch product but it has game port instead of usb,,,HELP!!!

  • lol the sound of the rudders sound like a fat couple havig a good time :)

  • Man, I wanted to use this way too :).

    I have a Genius F23 joy and I started to build a WWI cockpit. So I'm planning to make this pedals and also make a seperated throttle using the same method. And I'd need to expand the joystick to a real stick used in WWI but I'm afraid if I'll get bored using simulator I'll have to set back the original joy. It sucks.

  • nice pedals, but do you damage your joystick at all. and how do you connect it, can u make custom pedal to plug into your usb??

    thnks matey.
