Hmm...I'm in the market for a new joystick, and I like "force feedback" (when done right), BUT I have to admit that I would rather have a stick that emulated the looks of a "real" old time joystick. The German "KG 13" looks cool, and has a few buttons (if you need that_LOL), but the P-51 or RAF control sticks have a nice feel too.
It seems to me...that if you had the basic mechanics worked out, you could finish off the control column with any kind of upper stick grip.
Anyway...I hate to say it, but I dont think that this is the place for the joystick you have designed. Thats NOT to say, that their are not people out there, that would love this kind of thing...but most of the people here, are into the "old time" propeller driven, oil stained, loud and rumbling WW2 aerocraft.
Good Luck and all...
P.S. Oh, and $600(?), I dont think I could spend "that" kind of cash....any day.
