The Playseat Challenge looks like it will work for me with my limited space and time. Any suggestions for mounting a HOTAS (CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle)?

The "challenge" would be mounting the ProThrottle. The FighterStick, simple.

I see what you did there!

I'll take that "challenge" - ;-)

It doesn't look like it's all that sturdy so you may have to build a separate platform for the ProThrottle. Or, build two if you're a side stick kind o' guy.

I'm thinking that something like a monitor or speaker mount might work as they are designed to carry some weight:

I want to try the chair first and make sure I understand the angles and possible mounting locations for everything. I don't know if I want side or front for the stick either.

These Ram mounts are really strong, you would be surprised and if I had to do it again(I have the same seat) that's what I would use, lots of options, clean install

Thanks, the Ram stuff looks interesting. I could not tell from your link exactly which pieces you have. Could you please post a picture of your setup and where you are mounting things? I'm thinking I would have the fighterstick on the center table and mount the throttle on the swing arm.

Don't forget , I said if i would do it again I would use those ram. This is what I have at the moment
