Hey everyone, As of now, I am looking for any webpage that has some tips or instruction related to building up homemade yoke, rudder pedal, throttle quadrant, and etc. Using Wood/plastic/metal... Any Idea which site has a good information? Back then, Derek Higgs used to have a good source information on his older webpage. Now the new webpage of his is a big turn off...

Rob Barendregt - rcbped.zip/rcbpedals.zip and rcbthr-10.zip/rcbth-10.zipRoland van Roy - diyhtm10.zip or diy1_0.zipBill Spencer - yoke.ziphttp://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/m-howto.htm - search the list.

I still have a webpage up?Derek

PeterKMade my yoke out of copper pipe...the throttle is from some video equipment...the rudder controls are from a Mad katz control system...take a look http://home.attbi.com/~cockpitsimulatorpete

Pete,I like your use of plumbing and other standard hardware store items. This hobby has a great propensity for eating cash. It's nice to see examples of what can be done without breaking the bank.Mikewww.mikesflightdeck.com

PeterKThe cash eaters are the house ,cars and kids....I love flightsimulators all types and I just dont have the passion to sit down for years and plan out a biz jet project....My cockpit project is more of a home depot version than using real plane parts but you can see by my photos a got a few cessna partslike the Mic and head set from a friend who upgraded his plane..The yoke is made from copper pipe but its more or less builtjust like a real cessna or piper yoke system..If you go to my Bone yard site you can see some of the examples i used ingetting ideas http://home.attbi.com/~kodistI didnt have any diagrams so i went and looked at planes in a junk yard..thanks for looking mike..pete

Peter K, Your build up Yoke is very creative. But I wanted it to be almost precisely "similar-a-like" to the Real B767's yoke. I am thinking about avoiding any kind of metal object and use wood instead such as molding,plaster and etc. I want it to shape up sanding, filing, or what is possible. Do you, or does anyone know where I could find webpage that can share some ideas how to do it?Derek, I truly apologize if I've offend about your webpages, Actually this pages need frequently updates. There are so many cockpit builder starting to post their webpage and I've not see anything new lately.

Arthur,Kev Saker made an extremely realistic yoke using polyester automotive filler on top of copper pipe. He has posted an extensive article on the "How-To and FAQs" section on Flightsim.com. It's called "How To -- Build Kev's Cockpit".Mikewww.mikesflightdeck.com

PeterKYes,I agree Kev Saker has the article at flightsim.com...I would go with the copper pipe approach but then make a moldout of modeling clay and use auto body filler or fiber glassresin to make the control housing using the clay as the mold...Personally I dont like wood because is life span is limited under the daily stress of cockpit use..one of my early yokes was woodand i found it falling apart pretty fast...peter......
