RogueRunner Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 I built this over the weekend. Took me 2 hours and used $50 worth of material:) It's very much still WIP and I eagerly await my Warthog to mate it to 'the chair' as it's now called. Someone on another site commented that the first shot looked like a medieval torture device :megalol: The chair is not fixed to the main bench so I can move it to one side, slide in the comfy chair and work/play other things as well. I have now flown a few hours on it. mounted my Saitek X65 on it with Prestik. Also bought an extra keypad and uses that for the UFC numpad now. In the photo it's still mounted on the right console but I moved it to the left front panel next to the MFD last night and that works much better. Plenty work to do still. 1 With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.

Lixma 06 Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 That's the kind of thing i'm looking at putting together at the weekend, good job! I like the uprights with the MFDs....probably means i'll have to buy a pair....sigh. Love the way you fastened the throttle down with chewing gum....:thumbup:
power5 Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Got pics of you sitting in it? I would like to have a center stick, but have a G940 with a large base like yours. What kind of MFD screens are you using? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Aaron i7 2600k@4.4ghz, GTX1060-6gb, 16gb DDR3, T16000m, Track IR5 BS2-A10C-UH1-FC3-M2000-F18C-A4E-F14B-BF109
RogueRunner Posted November 24, 2010 Author Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Love the way you fastened the throttle down with chewing gum....:thumbup: :megalol::megalol: It's called Prestik around here. It's a sticky substance, not unlike bubblegum :thumbup:, but without the mess of course. Common use in South Africa to stick things to walls and such. Reason for it is I'm waiting for my Warthog to arrive and I'll mount that properly. Got pics of you sitting in it? I would like to have a center stick, but have a G940 with a large base like yours. What kind of MFD screens are you using? I'll ask the wife to take some pics. The base is 20cm wide and there is ample space on the side for your legs to go past. It's pretty much exactly the width of my Saitek rudders so works perfect. The panels on the side, going forward needs some work since it's them my legs touch the most and cause some discomfort. You climb into the thing by standing on the chair and then sliding in, pretty much like the real thing :music_whistling: I use Thrustmaster MFD's Edited November 24, 2010 by RogueRunner With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
