DIY SW Yoke revisited... many years later, questions again.

You can get nice gear sets from  http://www2.stevenshobby.com:5641/
Though, they will need modifications for use in a yoke.

 Part #  SVM-MR8   or  SVM-MR7

 If you do not wish to use gears, you could probably use "Levers" instead.
Ive seen it done with some people who have made their own pedal sets:

Ok...so I am still hammering the last bit of details out on my DIY yoke, but am having trouble finding torsion springs that arent $20-$30 each. (Really dont want to spend a ton, especially on a prototype design that isnt "proven" yet.)

Anyone know of a source for springs that dont cost an arm and a leg?

z:

Have you looked at www.mcmastercarr.com?  Looking at catalog page 1206, not sure if any would fit for what you are doing.

That's the first place I'd look!  They've really got just about everything you could need and a lot more variety than a hardware store.  Decent prices too and usually ships to me next day.

Ok - so I think I have located some springs that may work, going to pick up a pair and see how testing goes.
