  1. Glad to see you got them. They are a great piece of hardware. Very accurate and smooth. I would recommend them also.
  2. I guess it depends on what you fly. I fly the A-10C and other then takeoff and landing, my feet aren't on the pedals
  3. I used an 80mm extension before I got my FSSB R3. It worked wonders for lessening the center hump going from one side to the other. I had the stick resting on the chair between my legs and placed my legs on the flat stick base to hold it down. The stick sat at the perfect height, where I could rest my arm on my leg and grasp the stick. It does take out the stiction, although I did take mine apart and regrease it throughly. The other advantage is you can easily offset the stick to the left while maintaining straight pitch control. You would probably have to adjust the height placement of your stick if you have it on a slide out tray. Here is a link to the person I bought mine from. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=121242
  4. I decided to go with cam4. It has a very subtle center detent and smooth equal pressure out to the ends. This was the choice of early testers in the beginning. Cam5 has the same center detent but gets harder towards the ends. Cam6 has a prounced center detent which I don't want.
  5. Serial# 1199 arrived in Albany, NY today.
  6. My pedals have arrived. Ser.# 1199. They are really buttery smooth. Minor adjustments are easier and more precise then with my Saitek Pro Flight pedals. Still have to play around and tweak them a little more though, and I have to decide which cam to use. My compliments to Milan.
  7. I understand anytime you have something shipped to you international or not you could get delays. Other people from the US have received theirs in 7-8, days. I still don't have mine and it's going on 2 weeks. And, as I stated before, I received something From Spain in 2 days. I started this rant and would like to end it now. I'm sorry I derailled this thread. I'll have them soon and will certainly enjoy them as much as everybody else. The next time I post will be to say I received them and how great they are.
  8. Not blaming Milan, but his choice of shippers. My FSSB still had to clear customs and I received it it wihin 2 days includng clearing customs becsuse they used FEDEX from the beginning with in house customs I believe. And, since it's near impossible to get accurate tracking with his shipper, it appears my pedals have been in customs in NYC for 6 days already.
  9. Joystick mount Joystick on mount Throttle mount 2x2x1 1/2 reducer for building box around pedals when they arrive
  10. Thanks for posting your design. I like it and I'm in the process of building one similar to yours. As soon as my MFG Crosswind pedals arrive I'm going to build a box on the front of the stand for it. The floor where my computer is is hardwood so it would most likely slide around without some kind of box around it. On the front corners of the stand I used 2x2x1 1/2" reducing tees. I thought 2" PVC Might interfere with rudder movement.
  11. Hope you have better luck then me. I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered. I doubt FEDEX will deliver it on Saturday so I'm looking at maybe next week now. Which will be closer to 2 weeks, if not beyond. Most people in the US seem to have received theirs in about 7 or 8 days. I bought the RealSimulator FSSB R3, paid $35.00 shipping and received it in 2 days from Spain. I paid this guy $68.00 shipping a week ago and am still waiting. Something wrong there. I know he switched shipping companies recently to give Europeans a cheaper rate. Hope this doesn't become an issue for people in the future.
  12. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
  13. But did yours have problems in customs with paperwork? I've heard other people say the same thing about receiving them even though tracking still showed them in customs. As far as I know I'm the only one that is showing an issue with paperwork.
  14. Is FedEx the delivery service in the USA? Mine still show sitting in customs in NYC due to missing, incorrect, incomplete or illegible export documents. Milan assures me it's no problem and I'm trying to be positive but I'm becoming less confident every day. I'll give it until Monday next week then Milan, as the shipper will have to find out what is going on.
  15. Milan assures me there is no problem. This happens often only on the tracking site. So, no worries here.
  16. So, after all this time waiting for my pedals to ship, I get this when I checked the tracking. 27-10-2015 11:18 NEW YORK Handled by customs. Missing, incorrect, incomplete or illegible export documents. I fired off an email to Milan. Hope it doesn't turn into a major issue.
  17. As someone who sold plumbing supplies for years, there are always ways of connecting different sizes of pipe and even dissimilar materials.
  18. I ask about the wobble because I'm using a RealSimulator FSSB R3 for the warthog and it needs a ridgid mount. If any amount of force applied causes the mount to wobble it could introduce unwanted movement of the comtrol surfaces negating precision control. I really like your design And might adapt it for my own use. Right now I have a board screwed to the under side of my desk that sticks out about 12 inches which I have the stick base screwed to. I use the box the warthog came in turned on its side as a base for the throttle. It actually sits at a perfect height right next to my leg.
  19. Very nice design. Is The joystick stand wobbly when yanking and banking? You could also build a box around your rudder pedals if they tend to move around on the floor.
  20. I believe if you go to the website and click on the order link it will tell you what the lesd time is. I also believe new orders won't take as long as previous ones.
  21. No problem, my wait will be short. Got my invoice yesterday and my tracking number today. :thumbup: Looks like mine are ser# 1199
  22. Mine is #140. it's really sensitive around the center so just pushing a button has me moving the stick. I really like it and once I get dialed in It's gonna be even better. How long have you had yours and what are your settings? I fly mainly the A-10C But have tried it in the Huey and P-51
