Has anyone made any joysticks from wood. If so how did you construct them?. ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: wood joysticksWhy would you consider using wood for a joystick? I believe most of ushave seen a baseball bat crack, and I for one wouldn't want to be overthe threshold and hit a gust of wind and make a quick correction only tofind the cracked wood joystick stub in my hand.If you feel that you have to have wood, then why not use the wood as asleeve over the metal. This of course is adding additional weight and Ithought the idea was to keep things as light as possible, but to each"his own".________________________________________________________________________________
