User manual for Warthog describes how to engage the afterburner detent (by opening the cover above it). It also describes how to detach the base plate (for the cockpit mounting) - which exposes insides of the stick base. And on the next page:

Bought my New Thrustmaster Warthog from SCsimulations.com today. Should have it in the next week or so Wooohooooo. Good boy Cougar helo Warthog.

Lance what on earth are you doing with that many Cougars??

Has anybody seen the dimensions of the joystick canister (diameter and height), Joe did mention the total height of the stick + the dimensions of the base plate in his review but no data for the canister was given. Need to make a center mount for the gaming chair.

Great review Joe, btw.

/Oakes

Ø of the base is around 11cm and height is 6 to 6.5 cm

Thanks, Guillame. Info I should have included in the review...

How do you attach the canister? Would you just drill holes from beneath and put screws up through pit plate and into the round stick base?

Thanks

by default, there's 4 screws used to fix the base to the plate. You can use the plate as a stencil, drill the holes and fix the canister on the surface you desire.

Eagledeer,

Did you see the video of the stick base plate removal in the review? It's on this page:

Like Guillame says, you can use the base plate as a template to create mounting holes with the correct geometry.

Clear-many thanks.
