Guys, nice work over here. I like the DIY Sukhoi control grip. Very nice !!

Here something about my way of centering.

I generally like significant forces in controls. therefore solid steel springs are the only option at the moment.

This was my previous setup. I have changed than centerig of ailerons because of friction and to reduce overall size of system

Current setup look like this, but also this is only just last step before the next one. I have also hydraulic dampers for rudder. This is feature i generally highly recommend. Inside the dampers are again steel springs, which generates some 15kg of force on full pedall. full aileron is some 5kg, full elevator about 8kg I thing. It is nice to feel respond in controls even on very slight movements.
Long maneuver dogfight is sometimes hard work, but I am no girl and it gives some additional nice feeling and better control of aircraft. Yes, sometimes I have to pull with both hands....prefect
