Ok, you don't want to spend too much, but you also said. . .

So you're going to spend $400 Canadian on a KG13 to mount it on a joystick base you describe as, "The basic engineering of the base is good but the overall quality of the assembly is poor. The gauge of the wires is too small and the spring is too weak.".

Spend the extra $80-100 and get a Warthog which is super precise, comes with a sweet throttle, and more buttons than you will know what to do with.

Yeah ! The KG13 from tarmac ,the price in canadian dollars is around 300 $. Well They open the overtime at my job and since I get the double rate around ( 60 $ an hour ) for 12 hours shifts the money has become suddenly available. I'm schedule to have 4 shifts at overtime so do the math. The price that I have seen for the warthog was around 600 to 700 $ The x-52 base well I can upgrade it with better components or keep the hall sensors and magnet and do myself a new base. I have some machining skills since I work as a millwright and do some machining myself. I like the idea of making some of my hardware.
