Re: Standard Joysticks

Have you considered customizing the KOP joysticks? Most of their issues can be solved mechanically. By either creating custom handles or adding/altering the springs in the base/handle itself, you can also stiffen it up. I discussed customizing the either the KOP joysticks of the old CH Flightsticks in these two posts:

I've gotton so many requests for more information about our team's 2005 operator interface, I think I should just write a white paper about customizing joysticks. But that might have to wait until after the ship date though...
