Desk mount for VKB Gunfighter Pro MCG and Warthog Throttle

Recommended Posts

Hello pilots,

 

In a nutshell, I want to get my Warthog throttle, and my yet to purchase MCG Gunfighter Pro stick both on desk mounts.

 

I am in the process of acquiring the VKB Gunfighter pro MCG (long stick version) along with MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals. I already own the HOTAS Warthog. I need a desk mount for the MCG stick and preferably one for the Warthog Throttle as-well. So far I have found a what seems to be a low cost solution for the stick. Its the Virpil desk mount found here:

Seems like all I would need to do is grab 2 of the Virpil desk mounts along with the TMW Mounting Throttle plate and should be set??

 

So far I have not been able to come across anything comparable to this for relatively the same price.

 

Will this work? Thoughts?

Two things:

1) You will need the TMW Mounting Base for the Gunfighter, and will need to drill holes in it to suit the GF. GF and TMW holes are different. GF is smaller, so thats good.

 

2) You need to be careful that the extended MCG does not have so much throw that it hits the top of the mount.

Hit top of the mount? I don't follow. I figured the setup will match this guy's:

 

 

It looks to me that there is plenty of clearance between the top of the mount and the stick.

 

Another good example of what I'm trying to replicate:
