Overall, I like the basic design, Charlie has done a good job of creating a functional yoke out of mostly off the shelf parts. The build quality doesn't impress me, but not everyone has access to a fab shop full of tools and machinery so I'll cut him some slack in that regard. I was dissapointed by his choice of wood for the base side panels, they're made from 3/4" Masonite and as the pictures show both pieces have split almost completely in half. There are quite a few metal burrs on the internal parts that need cleaning up, though that's more of a cosmetic issue than a functional problem. The grips are off centered side to side, but I should be able to adjust the rod they're mounted on to sort that out. The yoke is a little "notchy" in it's movement, though that should smooth out with use as the gears wear in. I dunno how it actually works in a game, I was more interested in it's guts and took it apart before plugging it into a computer. ;) |

I just hope you don't end up with "extra pieces" when you put it back together... ;) Looks pretty nice. |
