Hi Finn,

it looks very good and stable. Did you make the frame and front panel of steel ?
Your yoke X-movement uses 2 springs. Doesn't this swing (i don't know, if this is the correct english expression for it).

Hi Dirk

The frontplate is made in steel, it is laser-cut.
I got that made in my company, and the cost is about 30,- €, just made the drawings in Autocad, thats it, and the laser-cut make the rest.

The Yoke is a CH Yoke that i have change, the idea wit the springs, is very good, and your feel the "widerstand" like a real airplane.

I have used bearings in the Yoke, to get better fealing.

Finn
