Flight Yoke Kit Guide
DIY 3D Printable Flight Simulator Yoke Kit (Inspired by the Boeing 737 Yoke)
Build your own flight simulator yoke with this fully 3D printable DIY kit, designed to provide smooth and precise control for a realistic flying experience. This model is inspired by the Boeing 737 yoke but is not a 1:1 scale replica.
There are two versions available: One with potentiometer-based axles and another utilizing linear Hall effect sensors.
Features:
10 integrated buttons
Smooth and accurate control mechanism
Compatible with popular flight simulators such as MSFS, X-Plane, and Prepar3D
Electronics Compatibility:
The yoke can be connected using a USB joystick controller board (e.g., from an old joystick) or via an Arduino Pro Micro configured as an HID device with MMJoy2.
Mounting:
Suitable for desk mounting using a standard “Universal C-Shape Table Mount Clamp.”
What’s Included:
ZIP archive

Assembly Notes:
To better understand the assembly process, it is recommended to open the .obj file (e.g., “YokeV001.obj” or “Yoke001Potentiometer.obj.”) in FreeCAD or another CAD program and explore/disassemble the components.Some updates have been made to the Arduino holder, with new versions now available for both USB Micro and USB Type-C.

Components
(For Yoke Potentiometer Version)
Linear B type (Not Logarithmic Potentiometers!!!)
(For Yoke Linear Hall Sensors Version)
Hall Sensor Analog (Linear), NOT Digital (Latch)!!!
(For Yoke Linear Hall Sensors Version)

To make the projects compact and durable, I kept the cable channels small. The best wire to use is 30 AWG – 0.05 mm² – D 0.25mm
3D Printing Settings:
The design is optimized for common 3D printing settings and requires standard materials such as PLA or PETG.
