I've been in the skip again!

I cant walk past a skip without having a quick nosey to see if anything is useful lol Half my flightdeck is reclaimed junk :) So now i have started on a yoke mechanism, obviously i need the control and i like the look of the opencockpits yoke for 90 odd euro it looks good value, once i have worked out how to get some pots into this contraption i may order one. Heres some pics. http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/b...Picture042.jpg http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/b...cture043-2.jpg http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/b...Picture044.jpg http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/b...Picture045.jpg I'm off to have another read of Ian's pdf on making yokes :p

That looks very cool steve. I'll be watching your progress on that one as I may be looking at the same thing in the future. Nice work!

Drewsta

Very cool!!! Please make a tutorial to build this project!!!

Steve you sound as bad as me. I have a shed full of stuff i have picked up and 'may need one day'.

Nice work. Thanks for sharing the ideas.

Hi Steve, I will have a yoke column base/pot drive unit mechanism as a product on the site by the end of the week! Stay tuned...
I had to laugh, the guy who trains our kids karate is a plastic sign manufacturer and I am always bringing home pieces of acrylic from his skip and I always keep an eye on the skip at work!!!

I'll keep taking pictures as it progresses, Thanks for the comments.
@ Gwyn Yes i have been following your new innovations and wondered about the yoke mechanism you mentioned, I'll definatley take a look when you release it. I wont be going dual yokes for the forseable future as nobody ever sits on the right.
Does anybody have experience of the opencockpits yoke, i know it needs finishing but as it comes with the wiring ready for the switches i thought i might give it a shot.

Top Stuff Steve.

You are very much like me, I am definitely a skip raider and love to see what I can pinch out the skip. Glad to see that everything is coming along, and cant wait to see the yoke mechanism work.

Great stuff, why pay £££'s when it can cost you £'s?
