VF-2 John Banks Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 2432 Loc: Berlin, Germany	Damn, why is the base plate of the stick so wide? It's much wider than the stick base of the Cougar. My wooden stand for the stick is only as wide as the Cougar itself. I guess i will have to take it to my workplace and cut a bit off of it. _________________________ Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450, 4x 2.66 GHz, 12 MB L2 Cache Total, 1.333 MHz FSB, 45 nm (@ 3.62 Ghz) ASUS P5QC, P45 chipset, FSB 1.600 MHz ASUS Silent Knight II CPU Cooler PALIT GTX570, 1.280 MB DDR5 RAM, PCIe, dual DVI/HDMI TOSHIBA 37" LCD Win 7 Home Pro 64bit 240 GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3 Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Gamer 2x4GB GEIL DDR3 Value RAM ANTEC PSU 750W TrackIR3 Pro HOTAS Cougar with "Uber NxT" gimbal mod SIMPED F-16 Pedals SAITEK Throttle Quadrant pair of leather gloves

It's wide to avoid tipping over when not mounted. It's removable. No worries. http://www.simhq.com/_technology3/images/technology_175a_002.jpg _________________________ guod@simhq [dot] com twitter.com/SimHQ youtube.com/SimHQcom livestream.com/SimHQ P.O.R.

It then may not be as stable as it originally was. Unless you're going to screw it to something, then it might not matter as much. _________________________ Corsair8X virtually making history 30mm at a time

VF-2 John Banks Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 2432 Loc: Berlin, Germany	Doesn't matter. I have my Cougar stick strapped onto my stand. Stability is no problem. With the base plate removed, i would get problems as i can not really attach the stick to the stand without the plate. I don't have a complete F-16 pit. I will have to wait till i hold it in my hands. Maybe the baseplate sits low enough, so it doesn't interfere with my legs when i move the rudder pedals. Otherwise i am going to flex some inches off from the left and right till it matches the width of the Cougar stickbase. I could also take longer screws and drill 4 holes into my stand and secure the stick from below. Gotta think about that. _________________________ Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450, 4x 2.66 GHz, 12 MB L2 Cache Total, 1.333 MHz FSB, 45 nm (@ 3.62 Ghz) ASUS P5QC, P45 chipset, FSB 1.600 MHz ASUS Silent Knight II CPU Cooler PALIT GTX570, 1.280 MB DDR5 RAM, PCIe, dual DVI/HDMI TOSHIBA 37" LCD Win 7 Home Pro 64bit 240 GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3 Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Gamer 2x4GB GEIL DDR3 Value RAM ANTEC PSU 750W TrackIR3 Pro HOTAS Cougar with "Uber NxT" gimbal mod SIMPED F-16 Pedals SAITEK Throttle Quadrant pair of leather gloves

Magic Man Junior Member Registered: 04/18/08 Posts: 90 Loc: South Wales	You can detach the base plate and screw the stick pot to anything you want, shouldn't need to take anything off - detach it and attach it to a piece the exact same dimensions as that of the Cougar base if you want.

VF-2 John Banks Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 2432 Loc: Berlin, Germany	That would be my stand for the stick. But i still need 4 holes to screw it to the stand from below. Without the base plate, the stick can't be strapped anymore. But i can use the 4 holes for the plate and simply use longer screws. That way, the top of my stand is the new "plate". The only problem will be to find proper screws whith the exact same thread. _________________________ Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450, 4x 2.66 GHz, 12 MB L2 Cache Total, 1.333 MHz FSB, 45 nm (@ 3.62 Ghz) ASUS P5QC, P45 chipset, FSB 1.600 MHz ASUS Silent Knight II CPU Cooler PALIT GTX570, 1.280 MB DDR5 RAM, PCIe, dual DVI/HDMI TOSHIBA 37" LCD Win 7 Home Pro 64bit 240 GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3 Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Gamer 2x4GB GEIL DDR3 Value RAM ANTEC PSU 750W TrackIR3 Pro HOTAS Cougar with "Uber NxT" gimbal mod SIMPED F-16 Pedals SAITEK Throttle Quadrant pair of leather gloves

I ought to be able to check on this for ya in the next day or so. PM me if I don't follow up. T _________________________ Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC \| Sponsored by Thrustmaster
