Ok, no making fun of this drawing, I literally just did it in paint but take a look at my idea of the perfect controller stand to control a flying game:

This device requires no power and the cable between the nunchuck and wiimote hides underneath. The nunchuck goes back and forth and sits in the stand, this is the throttle. The wiimote can move in all directions and sits in the stand as well with complete mobility as the steering. It perfectly replicates an airplane, I don't know why they haven't done this with a flight simulator.

Actually, I like that one, except you really should turn the Nunchuck to face the other direction, and instead of having it plug through the bottom, just have a round edge that the cord wraps around before running up the handle of the throttle.

Grey, thanks for the feedback. You are right, turn the nunchuck around so your left thumb can access the C and Z buttons. I really wish people would see my idea because I think the Wii allows for endless possibility and recreating an airplane would me amazing becuse the built in motion sensors of the Wiimote and nunchuck would allow us to buy a $15 piece of non-powered plastic instead of a $100 flight stick.

I like that concept, that really would work well for flight sims. And if you have to have a big chunky plastic thing for flight games, then I'd rather have your idea than the item in this story, to be honest.
