Anyone Got A Quick-N-Dirty Method Rudder Design?

I'll be making my own rudder setup eventually but don't want to spend £100 on a Saitek setup just for the meantime. I have got some pots and a BU0836X joystick controller to link them to... I just need a basic build (with toe brakes) if possible.

I realised how badly I needed the rudder when trying to land my ATR 72... Thing was getting blown all over the place with a 28kt crosswind lol. Heavy landing to say the least (actually I think I would have lost my right side undercarriage the way I landed).

God, my pilot skills are rusty!  :-[

Project: ATR 72-500, Ruscool panels, OpenCockpits Electronics.
Currently Doing: Awaiting coloured acrylic for colouring rear lighting and working on final versions of overhead panel fixtures (Yay, finally!)

LOL... I saw those but they are not what I would call Quick-N-Dirty (which is why I mentioned in another thread that I was going to take a welding course and make my own pedals). ;)

I actually found some decent wooden ones here.... http://www.flightsim.com/main/howto/rudder3.htm

I think I have all the bits I need to knock something up tomorrow as well...
