MCG Pro, Mounting Discussion
Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2018 16:38
Well, since I need something to do while I wait for MCG Pro to be back in stock I started constructing a base for mounting. I have a home office I use for work so I needed a setup that would be easy to stow away in the corner when not using it.
I ended up taking a 4x6 and cutting it down to 9", rounded off the corners, and painted with black textured speaker paint.
Next, I added a 10" x 12" base with four rubber feet.
Finally, I made a custom pleather boot (not pictured) to make the entire thing, including the stick, look like one unit (a cyclic).
I am using this for helicopter Sims so I will be adjusting springs to be pretty limp. The image below shows the base, the post, and also a weighted collective control box for a microhelis.de collective.
Question: Since I don't have a grip yet, I am interested in pictures from others of their MCG Pro Mounting solutions and I also wanted to hear from owners if they feel the 10"x12" base will be wide enough for this stick (to counter the torque of operation).
