pgh2atl Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 the shortest extension I ever made ... Absolutely amazing Zahry! Looking forward to getting the extension soon & trying it out. Hopefully US Customs doesn't hold this up like they have some of my football (soccer) gear over the years! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Rage* Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hi Zahry, I'd be interested in ordering one to the UK. Are the wiring/quality control issues some people have had been redesigned/sorted?

Whisky One Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) I'm sure he got it sorted out. Mine had a cable mix-up but the service is great. I just got my replacement cable. Yesterday I managed to disassemble the device. Now i'm waiting untill tonight for my sealant (filler) to dry so I can connect it. Zahry: The top part now protrudes for about 2 or 3 mm and the bottom cable sticks out a lot more (I put it in as far as I could). I think Í did it right. Do you got any tips/guidelines? Edit: Works good now! tomorrow i'll do the offset. (I had to forget something) :) Edited March 6, 2013 by Whisky One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahry Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 hi guys - just discovered my answer is still in a window and I didn't press post :) sorry hi rage - the QC is sorted I believe and the design should be bang on the money as well :-) Whiskey One - cheers! i'm happy it's working fine :-) if you'll need any info or advice, post a question, send me a PM or email. the 2-3 mm are perfect and the offset should be easy to do. I've posted more pics on website and there are two ways how to tackle the offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluca Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi, I'm planning to order one soon, has anybody considered commercializing a round smaller base to replace the big metal base of the warthog yoke? I just wish I had the ability to saw the metal base into a smaller round area. Cheers L Simultools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalnwood Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 It could probably be done but I havent seen the inside of it to know. I doubt very much it could be commercialised as it would be expensive and hardly anyone would want it. You are the first person I have heard to suggest it.

luckyluca Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 No I probably didn't explain myself, I meant to replace the flat metal plate into something much smaller and possibly round to better fit center mounted or on a smaller desk. http://www.cubpilotshangar.net/forumpics/joystick_to_chair_mounting-5.jpg Simultools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalnwood Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Oh I see. Yes many people have replaced that plate and bolted directly to a platform they have made. I dont think there is any commercial replacement because everyone making a pit has a different way of mounting it. Lots of people have gone for pvc piping with a flange on top, I went with square steel tubing and a flange welded on with the correct diameter to match that base, as wel as it being offset so it mounted closer to my body.

roadrabbit Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Extension? Me, too! I, too, would like to buy the extension kit for my HOTAS stick as per the photos. Main reason would be to more accurately represent the A-10C RW stick, but almost as important, to de-sensitise the roll rate per stick deflection (:music_whistling:). My preference would be to have an extension so that I could mount the base unit of the stick between my knees, or slightly lower, on a fixed base attached to the "cockpit floor" (again, similar to RW). I have the throttle panel mounted so that with hand on throttles my forearm is horizontal, and I think that the actual stick controls should be at the same height. Please let us know if the extension is now available and how to go about placing an order. :thumbup: Alpine Systems PC with Intel i7-2600K @ 3.40/3.70 GHz.
