Yoke

The yoke has finally been clamped to the desk. Hope to have pictures soon. It sticks a lot. I bough some silicone based lube and used it on the shaft (sounds so dirty), but it still sticks in certain combinations of pitch and roll. I will try to let it seep in more before I wipe it off. I put levers over the knobs that control throttle and rudder (rudder pot has been assigned to control mixture). The levers need to be light in order to stay in the assigned setting, so I can't put any handles at the top. Still, it's better than knobs. I use the levers in IL2 as well, but it doesn't let me invert the throttle so it works in reverse. Bummer.
