Still imagining you with a corncob pipe and a shotgun across your lap simming on your front porch though No no no... I sim in the basement.

Thanks J.A.K.! Here are a couple pics of the finished seat. My wife made me a superb set of seat covers to go over the brand new memory foam back and bottom. I covered both USB cables with a single length of 1/4" split flex conduit. Fixed the conduit with some c clamps. I am quite pleased with how this old worn out glider rocker has been reborn into a Warthog Sim Seat.

Excellent pics, but I wonder if you have any plans of integrating the warthog extender? Thanks. No, as I am very happy with the positioning of the stick.

Excellent pics, but I wonder if you have any plans of integrating the warthog extender? Thanks. No, as I am very happy with the positioning of the stick. Thanks RAF74_Raptor and Tbag for the comments. Just a further note about the stick position. I watched a great vid on the Blue Angels a few years ago "Around the World at the Speed of Sound". Awesome program (here is a link to a small excerpt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPNtoT4jSms One of the things that struck me in this program was that they stated that the Blue's did not fly with a g-suit. The reason given was that they flew with the right forearm resting on the thigh for additional support & precise stick control. If they wore a g-suit the inflation of the thigh portion of the suit would interfere with the forearm etc. Anyhow I dont wear a g-suit when flying the sim... however I did want the positioning (height)of the stick,and rudder pedals, allows me to rest my right forearm on my thigh allowing for more support and accurate control while flying. Took a bit of fiddling to get the stick and rudder pedals and seat to exactly the right position, but imo it was worth the effort in this regard. Cheers

Lobo,
Would you be interested in giving me a little guidance on my glider project?
What is step one? Sanding it down? Cutting off the arms? Taking it apart to remove the glider components?
Thanks!
