I was lusting for the Joylock clamp on joystick platform that was advertised on SimHQ, so decided to see if I could build something that did basically the same thing
The attached pics were about a $25 investment at Home Depot for their high quality drawer guides that can cantilever and a bit of lumber and hardware. My flying furniture is a little unique already, I'm a tired old architect, so it seemed appropriate to use a tired old drafting table for my desk / flying space
The joystick platform can be slid out or slid back, gets the joystick right between your legs, great for ROF or Il2 WWII vintage planes. The top is removable so you could easily change it out for a different joystick configuration. The windfall is you get the desk back with easy keyboard access for chatting or short cuts. I am a big fan of the
Saitek Quads as well and have two of them, covers most of the set ups you might need for WWI or WWII sims including bombers
A little trivia, the chair is called "The Goodform Chair" got it on craigslist for $30. An all aluminum frame, one of the first manufactured in the late 1930's. During WWII they closed the factory and manufactured aluminum frames for aircraft. Too much good karma not to buy it.
