Is there a list of shared flight sticks?

Recommended Posts

Like how the A-10/F-16, the F-4/F-15a, and the F-18/F-15c and e use the same flightstick as each other. Would be nice to see just how many real planes we can simulate between TM, Virpil, VKB and others

I don't know of any such list.

If you wanted to represent the most jet aircraft possible one a single grip, it would be the B-8. That is the grip in most F-4 variants, the F-15A/B and early F-15C/D.  It is the grip in most USAF fighters from the P-80 until the F-15A It is also in the UH-1 Huey and a slight variant with a 2nd red button on the right side is in the AH-1 Cobra.

But the B-8 is a rare case. Most aircraft have unique grips. These days, it is very rare for types to share controls since the HOTAS principle has to be tailored to ever newer technology with different control requirements not to mention the desire to sell new parts rather than let a customer buying a new plane be able to scavenge parts from earlier aircraft.

The Harrier GR7/9 (& AV-8B), Jaguar GR.3 and Tornado F.3 used the same stick as the Hornet.
