RIGHT.
How exactly are you thinking this will happen? if the pots are disconnected from the pcb you have a single (twist) axis joystick... I'll need to open up one of the righthaned beige 04+ sticks.
Also, I'd need a 100k ohm spring return pot. Havent found (m)any, also, the driver, might break the stops of such a pot, so I guess a mechanical stop outside of the pot would be very good....

Does this stick work with the OI? basicly, if the pinout is that of a CH FligthStick, one of the extra axes used for uh... throttle? and somthing else... will be the z (twist) axis...
Also, what model is this? Do you still want it?

AFAIK, all modern and most digital sticks are OPTICAL!
