On your legs or on a stand
« on: August 27, 2012, 01:40:53 PM »
I have been wondering this question for quite sometime now, and I'm trying my best not to make this sound dirty at all. Simply enough, do you like to put your stick on your legs, or would you rather have it on a stand?

Personally, on my legs. Better control and I don't have to reach.

I like to put my stick on my desk. It looks better & bigger there, I can grab it more easily and I can apply way more pressure. And boy, what a grip I do have!  :uhoh
It's also easier to take nice pictures of it.

Actually its not a bad question...
1) I used to place it on the desk, but it would make my elbow hurt after a while, so I placed a towel under my elbow. This kinda worked, but still the angle my elbow was at caused some pains after prolonged periods. It was all rather futile as sitting down that long made my back stiff and hurt more anyway...

My CH I keep on the desk.  It is nothing pretty to look at, but it is rigid, sturdy, and has done the job for years.  Much like.....

I can't explain the little red light, though.

My CH gear are on a special flip out unit that positions the stick and throttle just below desk height to the left and right of the keyboard tray.

On the desk, to the right of center of mass. It is similar to the throttle on an F-16, certainly not in the middle. [Gutter time for the bored among you.]

Tall and proud on the desk.  I adjust my chair height to allow hours of pain free throttling, pulling and twisting.

I have a roll-out tray on our desk that I have and my stick sits at chest level in the center of my chest.
