I won't be connecting a joystick to them, or at least not one that
exists right now. I'll be gathering up some 100k linear taper pots and a
bunch of aluminum and going at it. First up is the throttle quadrant.
Everything but the pitch trim, parking brake, and AP modes will fit on
one adapter and the unmodified yoke. If I make the rudder pedals plug
into the quadrant and put all the adapters and a USB hub in there I can
plug the whole mess in with one cable.
