That's what I call a sweet setup..! Nice, Clean and slop-free..!
But some questions pop up in my head as I gaze in awe at the pics. Are you using TWO FF motors per axis? Is this because you have a dual control setup in your pit or just simplyfied way of increasing the sum of the FF motors output?
Or am I mistaken and you actually use larger FF motors AND two of them?
Do you have the schematics for a H-Bridge circuit? And the specs of the components you use to build them? Allthough I try to learn electronics as fast as I can (I knew NOTHING before starting my Ka-50 Pit), I'm not quite sure how this works. I could off course set myself down and learn it, and to be honest I probably will.. But if you have a system that works I'll just go ahead and do as you did.. No point in inventing the wheel again and again and again..?
My FFB stick will have to have the FF motors connected by pushrods and bellcranks like yours. But I have to fit it all in within a space of 150mmX180mm areal.!
And the motors will have to pull quiote a heavy load being that the cyclic stick is casted in Fibreglass with some heavy push-buttons and an all metal trigger mechanism. Donnu the total wheight of it all with wires and stuff yet. But I'd rather use FF motors that are to big, and turn the FF settings down. Do you agree?

And what is that thin wire that runs from the axle just beneath the slider pot and back under the panel for?
