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.

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

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? |

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. |
