Please tell me you've created CAD for this build! Wonderful work.

Why thank you sir, and as it just to happens, there is a CAD file (.skp), that Foust was kind enough to make. Here's a link to the file on dropbox:

If you actually end up building, here's some suggestions and explanations to accompany the drawings.

One of these days I'll clean up enough around my pit to take some update shots to show it in its current form. Not a lot different for MWO, but my Combat Pro pedals have been mated to the modded TM pivot mechanism and for SC I made a new center mount and extension with offset for the Warty.

It's held up well (~9000 matches on the stick, 6000 or so on this iteration of the pit), and is still in routine use although I mostly just lurk on the forums since the whole Transfail thing...

No real updates documented or organized enough to share despite several revisions and improvements.

My mechstick at this point has accumulated ~10,000 matches total on it and this is the result of natural wear

Note: I used a Cougar grip for the first four thousand matches or so before switching to a Warthog grip so this is the result of ~6000 matches and the Cougar looks similar

It saddens to hear that my Warthog is bad :(

Fortunately I got it very cheap, so maybe it is still a bargain... Have you figured good way to fix the warthog gimbal that is possible do with normal home tools? Should I try the spring mod that was linked previously?
