Re: Try again
It looks like the diagram is showing two distinct control mechanisms. These types of linkages might be used for a remote-manipulated robot arm such as found inside a hazardous materials booth. Mechanical linkages might be preferred due to the potential of RFI or radiation interference with electronic systems. There is no way you could control a plane with just one hand - you would get cramped wrists - it would have to be fly-by-wire. With that assumption I think you could make the joystick control without any complex mechanisms at all, just electrical rheostats for each axis.
