Hemp’s Flight Sim Stuff

 Added the followings: Two front posts. A sliding keyboard tray. The original idea was to add the two front posts, and then hang two horizontal bars between the two posts. The top bar was intended to hang TM Boeing Yoke, or a driving wheel. The lower bar was intended for hanging a sliding keyboard tray, preferably slightly above the lap, and moveable so to facilitate ingress and egress. Basically, create a "gate" to hang stuff. Eventually the build progressed to erect the two posts... Hmmm... very sturdy. They alone would stand fast and steady, the horizontal bars are not structurally required. So, on the left post, I hung a small arm tray... for a keypad (for FPS), and the lower post hung a longer arm for keyboard. This almost reached the ideal lap position... On the right post, currently I hang a small arm tray, intended for a mouse pad. Then, instead of constructing the horizontal bars, I decided to hang the sliding keyboard tray under the hefty table. This is a sliding ke...

Had quite some family events... a bit of health issue... so I haven't worked on my hobby for awhile. Anyway, over the labor day weekend, I started a new build... as usual, always WIP. This is just stage 1, to get it functional. There will be improvements down the road, depending on the experience using it. I built this mainly because of my health problem causing my calve to hurt when sitting on an office chair reaching out for the rudder pedals. That posture is just no good for me. So, I build this thing such that I can sit low down at the pedal level, just like in a jet fighter. Basically, it's built around a sliding racing chair bought from Amazon. It's a chair made by Ikon. So, no center mount stick! The base is made with 80/20's 15 series aluminum extrusion. The panel rails are built with 10 series extrusion. Other than the corner brackets and standard 10/20-series nuts, the rest of the brackets are made on my CNC mill. A drill press would do, but I have the CNC mil...
