So what triggered this???
DCS announced they are working on an AH-64D ( Apache Attack Helicopter )
I've got the DCS Huey already, but it never really excited me.
This announcement ticked a box and suddenly I felt like I absolutely needed a real helicopter Collective/Throttle stick!!!!!!
Random question, could please share the vendor and filament type you used for these prints? They have a great finish and it may be the picture but it looks as if it has a flake like shimmer? I have an all black aluminum chassis rig and I would like to use this for a couple projects in the pipe line. Thanks!
What brand is it? It does not look like a Komodo...very nice though.
Thanks for the info! Just ordered a 1kg roll. Looking forward to trying it out. What do you use for slicing? So far I have worked pretty much exclusively with hatchbox and I have an ender 3 pro but I really like the looks on that finish.It is Prusament Galaxy Black and it has just a bit of fleck in it to a very nice effect. I looks better in person than in pictures.
Correct it is not. Komodo has a 6-8 week backlog, uses 3D printed parts and I read just enough reviews to make me think it was not worth twice the cost of what I purchased.
I ordered the Bell 206 Jet Ranger stick because the Huey looks too bulky, plus the Bell 206 is in stock. I did receive an email stating it would ship within 2 weeks.
This also looks like it will be easier to mount than the Komodo which has a few weird things about it's base. The Komodo does have 2 mount points for the stick, but I can already think of a number of ways that I could angle the mount for this to put the stick where ever I want it.

I'm quite certain I can find a nice mount to my seat bracket that is easy to remove when I'm driving, but I'll figure that out when it arrives.
As a (former) RC Heli junkie who has spent more time in the DCS Huey than any other aircraft, this presses a button for me and understanding how a collective stick and throttle work on a helicopter, I'm quite sure it will be much better ergonomically to control a heli like this than with a split airplane throttle.
Plus Apache!!!! It may be a while before they release it, but I'll get reacquainted with the Huey and put some time on this control.
Who knows, this may fire me up to get my RC helis in the air again.

I'm using PrusaSlicer 2.3.0 and it has profiles for their PLA. It also has profiles by printer and the Ender 3 is one of the printers it supports.
I design everything in fusion 360 and export STL'S with the "high" quality option.
you dislike the Huey?? big shame!! it even got multicrew for humans!
Lacking easy access to welding or brazing,I made a set of rudder pedal ...parts are pretty common and construction simple
