Simple DIY Helicopter/Airplane Thrust/Rudder Pedals

thingiverse

Here is an easy to build thrust pedal set. It uses a hall effect device connected to the controller of your choice. It is not self centering, you can easily put your foot on both pedals to center. Of course you can use it with airplanes as well. https://youtu.be/3XGULV1H5tE If you need a controller then I recommend Arduino Micro Pro. See Hobby Tech Gear for MMJOY2 programming Part 1: https://youtu.be/FxuDD6lyDxw Part 2: https://youtu.be/auUpT2t_DqA Part 3: https://youtu.be/f3k8beZaHbY Print all parts with 3 perimeters and 25% infill. Only the geared levers and footrests need supports. Build plate only. Require: 6 x 608z skateboard bearings. 100mm x 8mm steel rod. 1 x 30mm M8 bolt. Hex head. Velcro loop. Grease 1 x Linear/Ratiometric hall device. Even cheap ones off Aliexpress work well in this. 2 x 5x5x5mm cube magnets Length of square aluminum tube. 23mm ID. If not printing footrests then 2 x 150mm M8 bolts and 4 nuts with washers.
