that is exactly what Im talking about

Did pretty much the same thing with a peice of scrap extruded polystyrene  board insulation I had laying around.
Works perfectly.

Now if I can only get used to having  a throttle and so many buttons.
Im sure to my family I now look like an epeleptic when I fly now LMAO

I would not recommend this on brand new USB gear unless it is a proven modification that does not upset the CH CM Software. In any event not until the warranty has expired!

The guide is in fact like a diamond shape. By removing material from the slanting sides until it is nearer square shape it allows both switches to operate at the same time i.e. you remove the red area as sketch below.



Where were you with this mod 2 years ago? LOL

Clay works PERFECTLY

for $2 I picked up some black "Sculpey" clay at "Micheals" craft store took me all of about a minute and a half to mold it to just the way I want it and to my hand perfectly.

It sticks without glue without falling offand I can lift it off and bake it in the oven if I wish to make it hard.

For now Im going to leave it soft and play the game for a while and make sure I like the feel. If I dont like it I can simply peel it off and remold it till I get it just right. Then Ill lift it off and bake it to make it hard.

I picked up some of that "Handitak" reusable adheasive (kinda like clay but more sticky) to affix it in place. that way if I ever decide I dont like it. I can just pull it off.

No tools needed.

im tellin ya gents. This is the way to go. Its fast,easy, cheap and feels more comfortable then even the original handrest because the top part is molded to the shape of my hand perfectly.
