Joystick recomendations

[DogTailRed2]

I have a floor mounted joystick which emulates a real warbird stick.
All you need is an old sidewinder, some tube, wood and RJ45 cable.
I'll post a how to if anyone is interested (also one up at flightsim.com which uses metal in stead of pipe).

Got pics too?

Also, why do we need a RJ45(Phonejack) cable?

I also have it centermounted with a 22cm extension and i tell you. This is pure precision flying and aiming. There is nothing better!

Here you go:
btw. This tube there is some simple rainpipe screwed together with some brackets. All the stuff needed can be cought in a simple building centre. The extension is bought from "Metalnwood" over at simhq forums. But i read that there are cheapo solutions to that as well (som kind of gardenhose - go read on simhq if you wanna know more details).

That's dedication, I say!

Why RJ-45? Not USB?

That's pretty hardcore, and it looks good too. I really like DIY setups like this.
