I have been working on a flight/gaming chair working mostly on comfort and posture to eliminate any rsi in the elbows and wrist that effect so many gamers. And yes I'm having to build two. Anyway thanks for considering my imput, and if you need any tips on a flight chair feel free to ask always happy to share.
A flight chair - joystick/throttle mount sounds like my next project
I will give you a shout before I start.
I was designing something before my delta throttle build using pvc pipes.

I had to put additional deadzone on Z axis, because I couldn't get more resistance from rubber band. If you can notice when I put my hand on throttle it lowers for about 0.25".
Deadzone compensates just that. Hopefully spring will solve this problem.
Pivots rotate smoothly with no resistance at all.
I can't use McMaster's site... they won't even let me log in. Their excuse was that I am located in Europe and they don't ship here. Go figure.
I have ordered from a local spring manufacturer 0.5" width x 0.37" wire x
40" !!! for my tests. Of course I want a find a ready spring that is globally available for everyone and avoid custom solutions, but I have to start somewhere.
Let me know if you need 3D part designs for your build. I owe you a .step file of my base but I have to add extra wholes for the spring.
Off to work now.
