Re: pic: THINK PINK 2K8 Control Panel (open)

I like the slots that constrain the joystick motion to only the Y-axis. That is something that never had occurred to me. Clever idea.

The same effect could be gotten (on the white 2005+ joysticks, I haven't modded a CH flightstick enough to know if it'll work for them too) by just adding a dab of adhesive to one sets of spring holders inside the joystick. If a team didn't have the time to make a slotted panel, it should work about as well (depends on the strength of the adhesive). You could just use hot-melt glue if you wanted to try it out without fully committing to locking an axis. The only downside is that a dab of hot-glue is nowhere as near as cool as a pink powdercoated panel.

Re: pic: THINK PINK 2K8 Control Panel (open)

Our joysticks are custom - all we need is 1-axis movement, so why deal with one that it overkill? Each is just a box piece of lexan connected to a potentiometer (with rubberbands to keep them centered - another advantage - no setting trims!) We tried it out last year with base operation and they worked beautifully, so we're using v 2.0 this year.

Re: pic: THINK PINK 2K8 Control Panel (open)

Very beautiful Control Panel. I was expecting more...pink!

Side Note:

Wow would it be amazing to work outside...

I know us northern states have snow days. But do you ever have school called off because it is just too nice outside to keep people cramped up in a building?

yeeeeeaaaaahhh, working outside. . . not so great. . . (at least it's not Florida summer)
The best part is the tour buses that run right by where we practice - we give them a pretty good show, I guess.

Yes, we have days like that - they are called senior skip days (but don't tell nobody)

We don't have senior skip days. They are now called "mommy please call and excuse me" days

But back on topic very sweet control board. I wish we would have done something more spectacular.
