whartsell,

watch you back !!!.

when you start being shocked from your wife -

"wife said i could put the pit in the game room" this can be very expansive.

don't fall for it, be strong, join the Group !!! :megalol:

 

next week she we tell you - i have allowed you to move your fine pit to the ....

what do you say about this new item ..... (mmmm it can be anything) ... forget about new IO card, new panel , new screen for the next half year... :D

Maybe she is trying to get me out of the house...She has also given me permission to start building a RV-10 next year

A little progress. Now i've got a second monitor with Helios running. The config with all the exports was a real pain in the butt. But now I am happy, that it is working.

 

Much better MFDs position, that's what i was talking about.

Just a little update.

 

My first try on a stick extension.

 

Just a prototype but it's workin like a charm.

Hi Timmay - here is a Idea how to get the stick to be self-centering by using a counterweight -I used a similar solution in my FFB build with a 1,5kg door-stopper.:

And have a close look at this picture and you can see how to modify the "gardena" hose-adapters - so you are able to use a 20mm tube for the extension:

Thanks for the input.

 

With the extension, the stick needs a little push to center it. But with Peters solution, it could be possible to remedy this.

 

I'll give it a try, when time allows.

 

Have a nice sunday!

Timmay, with this length of extension doesn't your stick touch the front panel when you have it full forward?

peter, i do not see how this idea can be implemented for WH stick that is used here. some serious surgery will be required.

EDIT: now i see what you had in mind. somehow the picture embedded in thread got blocked. it is quite a project however.

@ whartsell:

 

Yes, that are bolts, we used 2 of them for each side. We drilled several holes in the backrest, so you can adjust it to your liking.

 

@strix:

 

He, that is exactly, what I was thinking about.... thx for the input!!

 

Update:

 

I received my Bodnar Card yesterday and now I am eager to build my first functional panel for the pit!

Hi Timmay

- as you can see on my stick - I have also a Rubber joint from a car , and this really don't affect the centring friction... - just look the video in my building thread.

You will sure have to use springs or a counterweight to get the desired effect.

 

 

peter, i do not see how this idea can be implemented for WH stick that is used here. some serious surgery will be required.

 

 

Just look at the Sketchup drawings I have posted - and with a little imagination you will get the idea of my advise. ;)

 

edit : Didn't saw that you saw it in the meantime ;)

If u can put a big spring inside of the rubber, then it will stay in place and be protected.

 

A cone shaped spring will due!
