throttle grip? Did I read correctly that you have built a circuit
that takes the data from the real microstick (ala transducer) and converts it
to a readable signal (ala POT)? Would you mind sharing that circuit with
us. I have a real throttle grip that I’d like to use and the
biggest hurdle was trying to figure out how to use the original microstick
transducer.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

what you are describing – that’s how we have our throttle arms
hooked up. We built a custom amplifier for the microstick in the MILSPEC
throttle grip to provide a 0-5V deflection as you move the control –
makes it look just like a pair of joystick pots – really works
nicely. Makes the Cougar microstick look very sorry indeed.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
