using a real F-16 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>

do 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>
