Looks like you've got yourself a project!

For the record, I finally got this project working 100%.

Every button/trigger is wired into a button on the MS Sidewinder board.

My next goal is to build a reasonable replica of the Martin Baker ejection seat using wood (at least basic angles, shape and dimensions), then buy some actual seat cushions from eBay.

If I get that far, I may build a similarly simplified wooden pit to the approximate dimensions of the F-4 pit... but that depends on how much space I have after I move closer to my "new" job I started back in February.

I've been following this thread since you started it.

 

I hope you're taking good notes; and I hope you can share what you did so even a caveman could do it!

 

I'm totally stoked for you....and I'd like to copy this idea someday.

 

See ya,

Toonces

1) The stick you have pictured in the ebay add is not the ever popular standard B-8

2) You have tacked on the picture and text about my stick grip, which appears incorrect.

 

Having trouble moving your stick grip and renaming it as a B-8 to try to get more/better bids?

I am disturbed by what I see and will make comments at eBay to rectify the situation...

Read your eBay posting a little better, you did mention that the last pic was an example, but I still think you are partly misrepresenting the stick.

 

Your stick grip is the variant used on later F-4J/F-4S and F-4M.

The amphenol adapter you show in you ad could be very useful to someone trying to join the grip to an appropriately sized tube and is a difficult accessory to locate.

I thought I had already posted this somewhere, but couldn't find it.

So this is how I like to use my F-4 stick when my wife is out of the country:
