Hi Folks,
I have a dilemna. My desk at home is angled, so I have a tough time flying at an angle. I can put it straight, but I still have to use sticky tac on the bottom of the yoke to keep it on. The edge of the desk makes it slide.
I have the following:
(And yes, I know that somewhere down the road, I will have to add more. It's addicting right?)
CH Pro Rudder pedals
CH Pro FlightSim Yoke
I just want to design using the following.
1)Rudder pedal Box, no bottom, or maybe a bottom for weight.
2) 2 x 4 brace attaches to box flat on ground.
3) 2 x 4 angled column attaches to brace
4) 1" Particle Board or plywood attaches to 2 x 4
5) Yoke attaches to board.
I am attaching a pic of my current setup as well as my cheesy design.
Unless you can lead me down a different more simple design, this should work. Any Help is appreciated, as I would like to ask the experts before I run to Home Depot.
My main concern is this:
Do I need to weigh down the pedal box in case I pull on the Yoke and the box comes up too. For example, will the weight of my feet on the pedals and a velcro strap or piece of wood at the back of the pedals be enough counter weight to suppress my pulling on the yoke.
Please keep in mind that I only put about 60 minutes into this measely design so I am open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Joe
