U360 / Wico mod

[Breaker]

Hi all,

I was just reading a recent thread on mods to an Ultimarc stick and thought I'd throw my version out in case anyone was interested.
Basically, I wanted the flexibility/configurability of the U360, with the feel of an original Wico leaf joystick. As it turns out it's very easy to mod a Wico to accept the U360 electronics. I've included a pic of the final prototype which I've used extensively with great success. I can post instructions if there is sufficient interest.

The Happ perfect 360 was originally a kit to refit Wico sticks in the first place. With a bit of looking you can actually just find what you were trying to build.

Hi PageO,

Yes, you're right.
The Perfect 360 is a similar stick but it isn't programmable and I think the U360's customizable mapping feature and analog mode make it a much more flexible product - but that's just my opinion.

Cheers,

Ok, I didn't know about the analog mode on the U360. I was just letting you know that optical Wicos are already out there in case that was what you were going for.
