I love to fly helicopters in DCS and have set up my sim pit for flying the Blackshark and Apache, but realized I was neglecting a lot of planes with this passion, my Winwing F16EX was setup with a clutched system without springs as this suites most helicopters in DCS, how ever this wasn't ideal for planes at all

I picked up a second Winwing F16EX when they were on sale last month and have set it up for planes, trouble next was swapping them out as it took a while unbolting the joystick from the sim-rig base, as DCS support hot swapping of joysticks in game I wanted a easier system. 

I found a company online called QR Mounts that make quick release 3D printed plates for most joystick/racing wheels and ordered the parts needed, they turned up yesterday and I installed them this morning, this gear is nice and has made swapping joysticks a 30 second operation in DCS.

Here are some pics so you can see the QR Mounts in operation (edited)

Thanks for this link - I know what you mean about when you specialise on the rig, mine is set up for the A10 and has no commonality with other aircraft.  Unfortunately for me it is too late in the day to do major work to make it universal, but this type of thing is still useful where you have certain parts of the rig that are used for other purposes, like the joystick

What material are they made from?

Cheers

this is novel use of a steering wheel QR (courtesy of someone on the simracing forums). The cheap Kyostar NRG copies are rock solid from my experience. It'll take up about 8cm of height
