Gunfighter Mk3 MCE how to change grip angle?

I know this is probably a very basic question. I've done multiple forum searches, and searched the Google drive documentation too, but could not find an answer.

I have the Gunfighter Mk3 MCE set up, and working well in X-Plane. Just need to make a few tweeks to the hats, and I'll be golden. I'm stumped on how to adjust the sticks physical grip angle. Right now, I have it on the base, which is attached to a Foxx Mount desk mount. The pin on the base is in one of the holes of the stick, but I'm not sure sure which hole, as they are right next to each other (insert joke here.....).

The description of the Gunfighter Mk3 MCE says that the grip can be rotated 30 degrees. So right now, my stick has zero rotation, and isn't all that comfortable, because I have to have my wrist in an extension position for long periods of time.

So, would someone be so kind as to help an old man out, and tell me how to rotate the grip to the left, for a more comfortable angle?

Thanks for looking.

By MCE I guess you mean MCG. If you look at bottom of your grip, you will see one elongated hole. Put grip on base and just twist to the left as far as it goes. Tighten set screw and you're done.

No, I actually mean MCE. I have the Mk3 Modern Combat Edition grip.

I buy "one long hole" as a description....mine actually looks like two holes drilled right next to each other that slightly overlap....kinda like the number 8.

So it's just that easy? since the base is already seated, just loosen the set screw, and twist the base? I was afraid to put much pressure on it for fear of snapping that pin off.

For my own sanity, when I twist the grip to rotate it, and change it's angle, what is actually moving? Is it the connector part that the grip slips over that has the pin? Is the pin staying stationary, and part of the grip is moving? Just curious.

Thanks.

Thanks.

@fallout9 So when I got home from work, I started snapping some pics, and as I had the stick off of the base, I re-read this thread. Looking at the two holes on the bottom of the base, that are mostly connected, or shall we say, indexed(?), they looked to me like I might be able to try the insert and "just twist to the left" as was suggested. I popped the grip back on to the base, and then applied a careful, measured, but firm twisting motion to the left. Lo and behold, the grip snapped into the second hole, giving me the offset angle I was looking for.

The long and short is, I now have it set the way I needed it to be. Thanks to all who chimed in, it's greatly appreciated!

Regards.

I am glad that you solved your problem. Just for your info, while combo you bought is called Modern combat edition, grip is MCG PRO or Modern combat grip with more options than "standard" MCG. It will save some confusion in future conversations.
Enjoy your stick.
