I've just been given permission to release these images of the Bell 206 controls from Simroom that will be available for purchase in February.







I had a great chat with David from Simroom today about the Huey controls and he was very responsive to the idea and we even came up with the idea of making the collective head 'interchangeable' so that a head from the 206, UH-1H and the AH-1G could be mounted on the end of the collective.

As soon as I have pricing information and details about splitting the components out, I'll post them up.

That's a great ideal...When can we order the Huey collective?

That would be awesome! How much would one cost?

5 months of work

Very nice hannibal

Very good work there, well worth the effort

thanks! there are great setups in here, inspiring to see everyone's work

Am I the only stupid f*ck that plays with the joystick on the desk? lol

LOL, that was funny NeF.

My co-pilot or should I say the AC!

same seat different controller!!!

im trying to salvage my old collective head... i hate to say, the CH flight stick pro was ok, but a formed grip didnt feel comfortable..

After five days of work I finally extended my X52 stick. Wasn't that easy, especially with the sensors since I wanted them to be as sensitive as possible but the end result is very satisfying and actually doesn't require any curves or saturation in game to work properly.


I also wanted it to be functional for other flight sims so if I put a small plastic plate on top of spring (under the leather cover) it still has the ability to self-center.


And here are pcs of my freetrack setup. I made it quite some time ago and it still serves me very well (and costed me about 20$, including the ridiculusly cheap PS3Eye camera) and can be adjustable to any headphones.






Now I only have to make the collective, but to be honest, right now the Saitek throttle works fine as one.

Love your work Harpoon.

For my first post , some pics of the work in progress .







The  cyclic "extender" is a bit too long (10cm-4") . All Hardware are attached with Velcro .
Next step , exept painting and sewing , will be a new rudder . Mechanical part is already finished . To do : electronic connection .



Hope you'll enjoy . See you soon in flight .

great work, looking forward to see the end result.  

Kick ass.. I'm very far away from daring to drill into my warthog lol.

I don't have drilled anythink . Just "clamped" the warthog's grip between two piece of steal . It's totally removable .

There will be no end ...

sweet!

Great work man. Are you planning to connect those AT pedals to Saitek's?

Dont worry NeF, Im with you mate.

Harpoon : Don't want to connect to Saitek , but to a Leo Bodnar card via hall sensor .

Xtra, that is your setup for everyday use or just at work when you grounded?

Nice. This Leo Bodnar thing looks really interesting.
