upupandaway Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Hi, and welcome. I think throttle and stick base dimensions are identical, but perhaps someone else can confirm that. My stick is currently at a friend´s place. Width of the base at the bottom is 18,4cm, lenght 22,45cm. Height of the base is 5cm, overall height of the throttle unit in center position is 17cm. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle!

Buzzles Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) The dimensions are indeed the same for the bases on both the throttle and stick. Height of bases is 50mm. (+2mm on the throttle to the top of the extra plate that's in an L shape). Height of stick from top of stick to the top of the base is approx 220mm. (~270mm from top of stick to bottom of base). Only approximate as it's quite hard to measure. Edited August 4, 2014 by Buzzles Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
