Hello.

I currently have a Gladiator NXT Evo, and attached to the stick I have an SEM, 2 x THQ's and the FSM-GA. The FSM panel is mounted on the GNX MFH, bolted in between the SEM and one of the THQ's. I have the metal reinforcing plates between all of the modules, and have the WWII throttle handle on one of the THQ's. I'm thinking of exchanging the Gladiator for a Gunfighter MCG Ultimate, which I will mount on a UCM S-GF in the centre of or to the right-hand side of my desk.

My question relates to the best way to mount the 4 NXT modules - Would one UCM S-GL be strong and stable enough to mount the SEM and 2 x THQ's, if I keep all three attached side by side, and screw the centre module to the base plate?
The FSM GA will be OK to mount to the vertical portion of the UCM, but before I order anything I wanted to check if one UCM can support 3 NXT modules side by side, or if it would be better to use two UCM's, or something else entirely?

Thanks for any thoughts and comments.

This works.

Thank you Victorus, much appreciated.

I'll probably try keeping the three modules joined together and attach them to the base plate with the FSM on the vertical at first. But if that isn't as stable as I'd like, it's good to know that I can mount two modules vertically and two on the baseplate.
My SEM is the standard rather than vertical version, but I'm sure I can get around any inconvenience by changing the labels as needed.

Thank you again, that was really helpful.

One further question on this - I assume if I go for the 200mm extension for the Gunfighter, then the UCM L is the preferred mounting option for the stick?

Assuming that's correct, I will use the regular USM S on the other side of the desk for the throttles, GSM GA and SEM, to kind of keep the throttles more level with the joystick?

Thanks for any thoughts!

You'll definitely need the UCM-L for any extensions.

Hi Victorus,

I'm about to order the UCM mounts, but I have another question following on from your helpful picture above: Which version of the UCM is closest to the camera, with the throttles and the SEM mounted on it? I'm trying to work out which baseplate version I need in order to mount my throttles, SEM and FSM GA in a similar fashion.

Thanks,
Grumbles.

Perfect, thank you.
