I decided to use radio channel switch case for main joystick box.

It has a lot of buttons and 3 axes - it will be very usefull for joystick :)

There is a lot of space for mechanics and electronics inside the box.

3D Parts for mechanics an electronics

I need ball bearings for internal mechanics of joystick.

I have Leo Bodnar's USB joystick controller, so I will use it for my project.

Rest of parts are pushbuttons, hall sensors Allegro A1302, neodymium magnets, 3-pin wire connectors, some wire, some screws.

3D project of spade grip

The most important part of project is to design spade grip in 3D program. I will need it to print this part on 3D printer.

Spade grip the best known part of spitfire

Spade grip is the part of plane to control plane :)
This project is about converting Spitfire's spade grip to a USB Joystick for WWII flight simulators.
