Anyone try the Oscar Trigger Hack yet?

[klutzo]

I'm mostly complete with the Trigger hack, using an old CH Flight Stick.

However I have some problems:

1) The trigger stick can spin freely, so the triggers are pointed backwards, or the wires may twist.  I've thought of drilling a hole, then putting a peg through it, but wondering about other suggestions.

2) The biggest problem, is that the Nutdriver shaft is quite small, so that the stick does not fit in 3/4 MDF... thinking I may have to do some routing, but I don't want to if I can avoid it.

suggestions folks?

Here's what I did:



I cut off a nail to about 3/8" long.

What's the purpose for this hack?  Looks interesting.  Is there a write-up on it somewhere?

Set screws might be useful for your joystick hacks. I made a trigger hack a while ago and used a little Hanson tap wrench and a Hanson 10-24 hole tap and drill bit that I picked up at Home Depot to make the holes for the set screws.

I was thinking of an even simpler hack, however, I don't know how sturdy it would be.

Basically at the base of the Supers or Competitions, there is a square actuator that pushes against the microswitches.

Basucally take a U nail, and pop it through the E-ring and hot glue gun it, or drill a couple of small holes, and poke the U-mail through the holes.  So using the E-ring, it should restrict movement quite a bit.  

May not be as elegent, but could be simpler.
