I think you'd have to have the same joystick for this to be able to be made for others. I've got 2 different types of sticks and I don't know how you could get this to be able to be applied to either one without some modifications.

: thanks to everyone for liking my idea, but tom61 may have a point as well... if anybody gets the thing made and tested and it works, i'd gladly take one!

: cheers

: : : Not a dumb idea at all, in fact a great idea. Now I can get off the ladder safely in Donkey Kong LOL. Now to figure the length of travel for the directions, if I get those I could have one machined to test with. Another idea would be to use the existing bolt shafts but secure the plate with small wing nuts(finger tightened, they should do the trick and be fast removed as well). Overall I think it could be worth checking into. Great idea Dave.
