[simpits-tech] f 16 rudder pedals

[funhouse24]

Hello Jonas,
                   I think the cost will put most people off  of wanting to
buy them , the linear potentiometers i used cost £135.00 each, times that by
4 and you'll see what i mean . The actual materials used  , HE30 TF
aluminium and the seamless hollow steel bar for the guide rails didn't
actually cost that much .I have had a couple of enquiries from the group
asking  if i would start selling them, that's something i would have to
think about . my set were machined from solid bar, to make sets to sell i
would make patterns and cast my own to speed up build time . do you have any
photo's of  the pedals you would want ? .
all the best
Dave
