[simpits-tech] Center mounted control stick

[John Miguez]

Roy,

It is two compression springs with a double acting piston in the middle.
It provides fore and aft pitch tension.  Read one of the latter posts
between Mike Powell and myself.  I describe some limitations and
proposed fixed of the spring system.

That looks very interesting. I'm building a similar thing for my
helo-sim
but early efforts have been disappointing.

The white tube behind the stick, is that a damper or a spring?

Roy.
