Does anyone remember a company making replica control sticks from either the command module or the lunar module? Sorry if stick is not the right term, I am an airplane guy that is just discovering he is also a space geek!  |

You're correct, a company or individual does or did manufacture these. Like you, I can't remember how I came across it at the moment though. |

John Fongheiser at Space1 used to offer reproductions of the Rotation Control - he may be able to also mold the Translation Control as well. |

Yes I am currently offering Apollo Rotation Control handles, and Gemini attitude control handles. I appreciate your interest. I am also planning to add the Apollo Translation Control handle in the future. You can find links to the handles at the bottom of the space1.com home page.------------------

Please note: I have no affiliation with that website, but CAN endorse the items for sale there on.I bought myself a LM controller for Christmas. My wife and kids think I am mad. Very impressed with the finished item. I have had the opportunity to try the real thing and this replica is as close as you will ever get to the real mccoy. |

Now what would really be ideal is something to let you play those Apollo sim games with these controllers. |
