My humble pit - Mobile w/touch screen

[Turk10mm]

The pit is just about done. Now its time for dis-assembly, stain, and paint to match the office decor. I work from home as much as I work from the office, so my home office must be functional. I've created a mobile pit that can be put away in the closet when I'm not flying, and quickly be setup again.

 

I built a pedestal for the warthog and mounted a 21.5" touch screen monitor to it. I had to get a little MacGyver on it with regards to the monitor mount. I wanted it as close to the desk as possible, and ended up using a piece of entryway trim for a door. It turned out perfect because the trim has ridges in it that add to the strength of the mount. I heated it up with a heat gun and bent to the proper angle, then drill pressed all the holes in it for mounting.

 

Once I get the wood floors in my office and i put some pads on the bottom of the pedestal, this thing will be a breeze to use and move around. Its probably about 40lbs including hotas and monitor. The 4x4's and wood I used are heavy.

 

Hope you enjoy, now I have to get used to touching the cockpit! I'm using Cap Loz's helios profile and have made some tweaks to personalize it. Great job Loz, I really like it.
