Check out these flightsticks

http://www.hirevsims.com/

I emailed him asking for a controller with twist rudder and throttle 
modeled after a military stick (no separate throttle or pedals) and he 
said he did some for a defense contractor but they were very expensive 
(didnt say the price) and he didnt sell to home users.

Can anyone recommend something close to what I'm looking for?  I've 
looked at mostly all the consumer level sticks they have at retail shops 
  and the only ones that stand out are the CH Combatstick and the 
Thrustmaster Cougar but neither have twist rudder.  Built in throttle on 
the stick would be my first choice but I guess I would get a separate 
throttle if the rest of it was what I wanted.

Recommendations please

I'm thinking plywood and build  your  own  cockpit
flat panel monitors  would less trouble to mount
and taking the   consumer level sticks add mounting hardware
the more pics  you have of the real thing the closer you can make it
look 3 mo niters would be a added  thing  front  and left and  right
i have seen some  that tilted  30-45%  each way butt them was the
price of a  real  good used if not the price of a new car
