Build specific sheet metal parts
Encoder mounting possible in two variants: inside the enclosure and on front of the motor. Depending on it slight variation exists in BOM for those builds. You need to select only one variant from those options!

Stick connectors
There are two options available. Choose one for extender you will be using. Both parts need to be made from metal
If you do not have local shop that can produce such part, adapters could be ordered from JLCPCB CNC service. Them ask you for CAD fila and image with threads. Those files are available in CAD package.
VKB adapter
It is intended to be used with standard VKB extender. You will need to purchase extender from official VKB store if you do not have one. This part replaces lower part from original extender.
Thrustmaster style adapter
This adapter has standard M36x2 thread and is intended to be used with all kinds of extenders compatible with Thrustmaster(and VPC).
Wiring diagram
Keep order of encoders and motors!
Both axis need to be connected as on the picture! Pitch to M1 and Roll to M0
Software
Check download section, firmware flashing section, and how to use settings app.
Building instructions
Will be there soon!
For now you can follow excellent Discord topic where one of enthusiasts keep track of his real world experience with building it.
