Default RE: Single stick radio

Seems like all you really need is the rotational 3rd axis element to adapt to a 2 axis stick. How about the 3 axis controls they have on Desktop Camera Controllers ?, How about the 3 axis controls on a Game Controller ?, What do the steering controls on a RC car radio look like when you take it apart ? Or build it yourself ...looks like basically all you need is 2 flat spots on the shaft and a spring loaded scissors assy for centering on the flat spots. Maybe you can get those out of an old Futaba, etc radio. I would look at taking an old junker which you can pick up for $10 or $15 at a swapmeet and making the two DS assys into one SS assy with a minimum of additional parts .....might be fun to try.
