-If i could buy core logics and pots, happily would make my own, but i don't know how, that's even more difficult here.
To illustrate, this HOTAS of a squad mate is all DIY, he carved the plugs in wood, make molds with fiberglass and mold final grips with fiberglass. Gimbal is automotive U-Joint, and, instead springs use hydraulic dampers - this allow use stick as trim (like in Black Shark): put the plane iin some attitude and hands off the stick, he maintains the position.

Electronics is BU0836, Allegro HALL sensor, commercial switch's and buttons.
