Homemade stick & pedals

[smilo]

Sorry to be a pain, but a little while back I saw a thread somewhere about home made pedals and stick. Now I can't find it. Did I really see it or was I dreaming? Would someone please send me in the right direction. Maybe I need to learn how to search properly. While we're at it, I was reading about CH Pedals over at the FS 2002/2004 Forum, but no one mentioned how much and where to get them. Thanks for your patience.

I finally found it at CFS2 General Discussions/Joystick/throttle/pedals by DavidL6 on 12 July. DUH!!! What I was looking for was the response with picture and link from VF3Thunderboy. Lordy, I just spent 2 hours at the Simviation/Homebuilt Cockpits Forum. Talk about "Into It".
I also found a link to gotink4u which has the CH Pro Pedals for $104+$4 S&H anywhere in the lower 48.
Thanks for your help and patience. I appreciate being able to ask a semi-stupid question without someone biting my head off and spitting it back at me.

Better late than never, but you may have seen a posting somewhere about my stick-pedal set. Here is a link:

Once again, many thanks for the replies. I can see that if I want to do this myself it will be no small task. Is it ever, if you want to do it right? I think I need to take a trip to Boeing Surplus and start my collection process.
Splat, Thanks for the link. Very nicely done. For some reason the last 5 pictures, "pcb,desk2,close,open, and front" didn't show. So it goes. BTW, have you ever considered a Tutoral with a detailed parts list? Just a thought. Or better yet, Do you want to build one for me? :costumes:
It may seem that I say thank you to much, but I can't think of a better way to express my gratitude to this community. Besides, I mean it. Hopefully, in the future, I will be able to give something back.

There was a great post at PF ubi on how to use an old joystick for rudder pedals. About the cheapest/easiest Ive seen...I dont have it bookmarked though... but if you ask over there they can show you the pic...

I stopped at Fry's in Renton (south of Seattle) this morning. The place is an electronics Mega Store. CH Pro Pedals, $99+tax, off the shelf. Decision time.
