Decided to follow your suggestion and used double sided tape. Now I can handle it easily, using one hand for the mount and the other one to hold the stick. I no longer feel I need a third hand to hold on to the Black Box

It would be nice to have a place where you can mount the an additional mounting plate for the BlackBox. Maybe something like this: or this: Thinking about some more: First solution, but placed at the top of the mount with cable between stick and BlackBox on top looks very nice from a cable management point of view.

Thanks. It's working now. I had the "flashing red LED" problem. Turns out this also happens when you have the KG12 profile loaded while the Warthog grip is installed. Loading the Warthog profile fixed the problem. It sure works pretty nice too. Looks must be deceiving in my pictures as I actually have it center mounted.

Gunfighter arrived today:

Here she is: Stick feels really nice. Buttons on grip not working at the moment. Do I need to run some setup tool for that ?

Mine has arrived today as well. Cook, eat, dishes, exercise, shower and tinker :) Pictures to come later this evening.

Last night I got an email from the postal services that my package should ship soon. I already have the tracking code and all that needs to happen now is to hand over the package to postal services. I guess that will happen tomorrow when the post office is open fur business again. Package should be offered Tuesday. I just hope the postman runs a bit late so I am home from work so I can sign for it. Christmas time is almost here :)

I asked the same question as my desk has a bar under it at about 8cm from the front. Mount fits fine on my desk and there's about two fingers between the pressure pad of the clamp and the front of the bar. I got this reply from meisterolsen:

Saw on Reddit that shipping to EU customers has indeed started. One guy ordered his on June the 14th and has received a shipping notification. I ordered mine on May the 23d, just several hours after preorders opened. I did not get a shipping notification however. A bit disappointed now, as I could have received mine today. I now have the problem that the Monster Tech mount keeps throwing a "%SYSTEM-E-DEVICE, problem between grip and mount" error message at me ;)

Mine just landed. Time to unpack and assemble! EDIT: %SYSTEM-E-DEVICE, problem between grip and mount

That is kinda bummer. It would be nice to have an idea if it's worth to buy the normal version first and the metal replica later. If the metal replica is two years out my answer would be yes. If it were to be 6 months my answer would be hell no.

Of course I'll post some pictures as soon as both have arrived at my home.

Will VKB announce a decision on the possible all metal version of the MCG before normal MCG goes on sale?

Received shipping confirmation for my table mount with VKB Gunfighter mounting plate last night. Soon my wait will be over :)

Shipment for EUR customers delayed again. Shipping will now happen from June the 23d through the 26th: https://flightsimcontrols.com/2017/06/gunfighter-orders-shipping-on-june-23-26/

Yep. Site still says it should ship today. Still haven't received a tracking ID though. Only positive thing is that I live in The Netherlands and I should have it pretty quick after it ships. Standard shipping time is one day with delivery of package on Tuesday through Saturday.

Thanks. Exactly the picture I was looking for. Ordered one for the VKB Gunfighter Pro and one for my Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle. Wishlist: Mounting plate for the Thrustmaster TH8 RS shifter.

I ordered a VKB Gunfighter Pro earlier this week from the European webshop. The Monster Tech mount seems to be a nice way to mount it. I have a question about it though. My desk has a round metal bar running all across the front of the desktop. I own a Thrustmaster T500RS, and when I mount it to the desk I luck out as the clamp falls exactly on the bar. This doesn't give a very secure fit. Now my question is: What is the distance between the back of the mount and the clamp that squeezes down on the desk ? In other words: Will the Monster Tech mount fit my desk properly and miss the bar ? Clamping either in front or behind the bar? ----------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bar under desktop | |=======================================| 2cm | | 8cm ----------------------------------------- front of desk

Yep. Pretty amazing. Those mountains on Pluto are almost 3.5 kilometres high. There must be a source of heat driving the activity and because Pluto and Charon are tidally locked it can't be tidal heating like we see at Io. The fact that a small world like Charon is active makes the rest of the Kuiper belt a lot more interesting. Next press conference will be Friday 13:00 EST and full data download will take 16 months, so stand by for much more exciting stuff to come.

Pluto's moon Charon: Close up of Pluto itself: Both are active worlds.

Press conference starting on NASA TV in a few minutes. Excited about the new pictures we'll see.

The use of CB radios was one of the first things I thought about when I read this thread. Some participants brought several of them so that people who didn't own one could use one too. I used the one I borrowed mostly to call search and rescue :)
