selling Thrustmaster Warthog extensions

[Bearfoot]

Many thanks I am really looking forward to trying it out

 

 

 

Yeah I have a centre mounted stick on a homemade base. To adjust for the new extension I have to have a stand of 23 cm in height. Found an old speaker stand that should do the trick. Going to fabricate a plate to eliminate the original square mounting plate that catches my calves when using the rudder pedals. Got some Krylon black paint I am going to spruce up my collective and the new stand. Nice to have a project again:thumbup:

 

Yes, I know exactly what you mean about the catching!

 

As you get your project going (or maybe even now!) it would be great to share your progress with plenty of photographs, maybe on a dedicated thread? I am such a newbie/klutz when it comes to hands-on crafts like this. I used wood glue and clamps for the first time in my quad-decade life the other day, and felt like a 6-year old (both in terms of excitement as well as utter cluelessnes/clumsiness). So, the stick stand was my first carpentry project, and basically consists of a bunch of blocks glued very crudely together! It works ... OK. Do not know how the stabilize the blocks on the carpet, especially as I do not want to make the base any wider to avoid the catching ...

 

The catching problem is made worst that the motion of the sliding true fixed-wing style rudder pedals makes your leg move back and forth, and so you have to place the pedals far forward as well as carefully ensure that the stick mount is low and narrow enough such that moving your leg back does not result in the catching. This puts a hard limit on the width of the base which limits the stability. With true helicopter style anti-torque pedals (as with hopefully my soon-to-arrive VKB T-bar IV's), this will be less of an issue, as your legs stay in place (no moving backward), and just your feet move.

looks shit but works :)

Maybe you guys can put my mind at ease, I have had no actual confirmation of purchase and no reply from a PM sent to Sahaj. I am sure its nothing to worry about but I have never liked paypal and I do like some proof of purchase when spending money on teh interweb:noexpression:

 

I got an extension from Sahaj. You will have no problems. It will get to you. :)

My extension arrived today. Many thanks it is an impressive piece of kit:thumbup:

Hi all,

 

Just a quick one about my setup with my new stick extension from Sahaj.

 

Works a charm and it feels way better when handling my rides, be it plane or rotor crafts.

 

Especially good for more precise flying like air refuel or even ILS landing.

Good thing as well is that I can have an angle for the stick which feels much more natural (dunno if its the case in reality though).

 

I enjoy it a lot. Here's a pic of my rudimentary cockpit :-p

 

Cheers,

Just got the 15cm extension, And it works perfecly for all the modules.

 

Around 10% or less with curvatives and the A-10 controls pretty close to 1:1

Makes for much much better overall feeling and precise controls.

 

Really quick to ship and reply to emails.

 

Thanks alot Sahaj!

[galen104]

Just got the 7.5cm extensions and I'm very happy.

I can conferm also that the build quality is good.

 

Thanks Sahaj!

Just wondering if anyone from Aus has purchased and received one of these. What was your delivery time like?

[Caspet]

Mine took 3 days, I'm in the U.K.

[Caspet]

Received my 10cm extension from Sahaj which took just 3 days to arrive in the U.K. and Wow, what a transformation. It has totally changed my flight sim experience for the better, No more dead zones or curves for me now :joystick: just smooth, smooth,smooth. Well made and easy to install, worth every penny, would highly recommend. thanks S' :thumbup:

 

Edit. Sorry about the pictures being sideways, did rotate them but they still stayed this way!

Hi Sahaj

 

Just received my 20cm extension, great service, really well made love the feel of the polished finish on it,

 

just took the F-5 up for a spin and all I can say is why didn't I do this sooner, so much more accurate no fighting the spring, gotta get used to the aircraft with it, it's like day one DCS all over again

Gents:

 

Can this be used with a thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS? I have Ian Johnson's metal gimbals so I do not need to worry about snapping the old TM stock gimbals.

Yes Roland, it is 100% compatible.

Hi Sahaj

 

My 20cm extension added a lot more to smooth adjustments in flight. With the stick between my legs and my arm resting on my thigh,flying has been a joy. Now,if only I could spot the buggers before they're on my six,with a gun solution.....

Sahaj's extensions

 

Bought the 7.5 cm extension and couldn't be more pleased!! Sahaj's quality is well worth the money. The larger span of movement makes dogfighting feel more engaging, all while making air to air refueling and formation flying easier.

Thanks!

 

Here is my setup \/ I was going to build a support for my stick but my chair was deep enough to support it. Worked out just right.

Extension cable defective

 

After using the 10 cm black extension for about a year the extension cable is defective. I moved house a few times and had to take the extension off a couple of times. The cable is a little deformed, and the male connector has movement along the cable.

 

It looks like the cheapest option is to buy a new cable on the interweb, but I am not sure what type it is. It looks like a 5 pin male ps/2 and 5 pin female ps/2. Can someone confirm?

 

It is hard to go back to the normal warthog stick ... especially in my Huey.

[Art-J]

Yes, technically speaking it's called mini DIN 5 pin connector. Similar to 6-pin one referred to as PS/2, but definitely not as common. Buying a complete cable off the shelf might not be easy then, but buying a male + female part and making one Yourself should be doable.

Thanks Art-J, I will check it out.

[sobek]

DIN connectors are an extreme pain to solder. Prepare yourself mentally. ;)

*****Ignore this post - extension working fine - problem was with the joystick.********

 

 

 

I got my extension today but cant get it to work.

 

When I press the trigger ALL the buttons light up.

 

No reaction to the other buttons.

ART-J,

 

just write me a PM if you have such an issue. I was busy as of lately but I am sure we can arrange something ...

Question: The complete unit height (minus base plate if possible), when using a 15cm or 20cm extension?

Is it straight forward standard stick height, plus the extension, or does it add/subtract some length?

[Harzach]

Just ordered a second 10cm extension for versatility.

Sahaj's extensions increase the height of the stick by the stated extension length only. There are no other adapters/collars/etc. that add/remove extra length.

 

*edit*

 

After further review, it seems that the stated length of the extension includes the ~1cm threaded section. A 10cm extension will then, for example, add ~9cm to the overall height of the stick.

Hi,

 

I just received my new extension from Sahaj. I had one from another manufacturer but it met an untimely end when one of my son's friends pushed too hard. I decided to give Sahaj's 10cm extension a try and am very pleased with the build quality.

[Ant0ine]

Hello pilot.

 

I own an extension that I bought to Sahaj since.. May be two years now. Recently I discovered and ordered his dust cover and I'm very happy with it, so I though it's time to share my experience. The stick cover FULLY protect my 15cm extended stick. I can not tell if the same cover could fully protect a 20cm extended stick.

 

Nothing to say about the extension itself.. It does the job, I could NOT revert back and use a vanilla Warthog, make no sense to me.

I also ordered a stiffer Red Spring to combine with my 15cm extension in order to get back the original centering force we experience with a unextended Warthog. It's a tactile feedback I enjoy, and need.

 

I'll add picture of the protection to this post when the condition to take cool picture will be met.

 

Until then here's the extension in his new home. (Yes.. This was an old socks dust cover ^^)
