Your Setups!

Recommended Posts

Was wondering with those of you flying with a HOTAS rig. How do you have yourself arranged? are your controls on your desktop or have you come up with creative ways to get comfortable?

 

I'm trying to brainstorm a pedestal setup for the left/right sides of my chair.

Hey all,

 

A popular pit the around the globe is the AB Mk I (Akers/Barnes Mark 1) designed by a mate of mine up in Queensland, Australia. My LAN squad currently uses 4 of these and another 3 are in planning stages. Tons of other guys round the world use these as well.

 

You can slap one of these together in a weekend and they'll fit any type of HOTAS setup (we currently have guys using Cougars, CH, Saitek and older Thrusty stuff). They pull apart/push together in about 10 mins so are perfecto for travelling along to LAN meets as well as looking pretty neat at home (regardless of what my wife says!). In fact, I'm parked in mine now. :P

 

To get an idea on what it takes to put one of these babies together click on over to:

Finally, to get your hands on further info and the plans go to:

Cheers all. B)

The H.O.T.A.S.S. website url keeps going to EBAY. Not sure what's going on with that. I cannot access the actual website for the manufacturer.
