i had a nice finding for do it yourself hall sensor:
http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.ph...o_Hall_Se.html
or this variant:

here for example you can buy these hall sensors:

You only need to fix 2 neodym magnets to the axis and place the sensor in front of the magnets in the right way (look first link).

I ordered 5 of the sensors (x-y-throttle-pedals) and neodym from ebay http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=200537868229 . Next days I will give it a try!

8,80 Euro for 5 hall sensors

Little tip for hotas cougar owners and the problem of too strong springs: wear out the springs with two wrenches a little bit. In combination with a joystick-extension its now very very smooth without transition between the axis.
