This is from ...........................................................
I hope you can find the head for it, if not I may know where you can get on made. Or do you plan on stripping it and converting it to a Bell 206?

larry will try to make it as close to a 206 as possible i think. thats what i like flying and kinda my dream bird. i only need one throttle control and then the pitch control for the main rotor. although if i left it as is and decided to fly a uh-1 later (one is in the making see link)...........

anyway i figured that this collective would make an easy set-up to build having the gear driven levers on the bottom of the unit that would be much easier to connect to pots to input into FS9.

still waiting on the collective to come in and in the mean time i'm starting the planning phase of the I/O hardward. also need to find a design for the cyclic. i know that most of the folks here are fixed wing but i'm a rotorhead.

just been reading a thread by "uncle henry", thats not his screen name but anyway, i think i'll try his avenue on ebay for the I/O devices. and i think that a dedicated computer to the sim is in order as well. i really don't want to do the networked computer thing so if you guys have any suggestions send them my way.

The CD went out to you yesterday so it will give you some details you may need.

It's really busy till the end of the year at work but when I get a break to pull out my FS boxes I think I have an extra 206 cyclic tube I can let go.

Let me know when you get settled back in your house. If you have Skype I can show you the cyclic tube and a game controller grip that might work on it. Grip is more like a UH-1 but would work better than a true 206 in FS.

larry this is a pic of the cyclic grip from N118TV a local news heli (bell 206biii). this is what i think i'd like to have.
