VKB Gunfighter - Centre Mount

[Foul Ole Ron]

I got the VKB Gunfighter + extension recently and it's great. Now I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to set it up as a centre mounted stick. Was looking at either the wheel stand pro or monstertech's long version table mount.

 

Has anybody used the Gunfighter with a wheel stand pro? Looking at their website the mounting plate holes won't match up it seems as it's only for the Warthog and Saitek stuff. I guess that it could be mounted with a bit of DIY but I'm not the handiest so was wondering what other people might have done? Also can the stand be set low enough in order that the stick + extension is at the correct height compared to how it is in real life where the pilot seems to rest his arm on his thigh?

 

With the monstertech long version table mount it looks like it has to extend quite a distance out from the desk to allow to for the throw of the stick with extension. And I assume that you have to also sit back a bit to allow for the stick to be pulled back the full way without hitting the chair. It seems like it'd be a bit tricky to get the stick at the real life height and not end up having to sit way back from the desk?

This is you vkb gunfighter pro on a Virpil deskmount and a Warthog base plate but it took some drilling for the holes and some milling to get the sticks connector through the baseplate hole. Yep you sit away from the desk great for DCS but not so good for anything else.

I know that with Monstertech HOTAS Stands you can adjust the vertical position seamlessly to where you want it, based on their sliding tongue-and-groove system. The same is true for the Table Mounts (Long), and of course for their Sim Rig center mounts (that's what I got):

Had a mount made to attach to the center chair piston.
