Title: Flight Control Rack vers 1.2
Post by: jimson on April 29, 2008, 02:39:36 PM
Well, I ran the wire through the tubing painted it navy gray, and yes, there's a beer holder.(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll149/jimsom88/100_2123.jpg)
also, new advantage to it being portable, 50 inch plasma in living room.(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll149/jimsom88/100_2124.jpg)

That's exactly right on the fittings, at 39 cents I'd buy an extra one or two of each in case I counted wrong, not sure about the 3/4, had it laying around in various pieces.

By the way, it was a real b**ch running the wire through the tubing especially the usb plugs, not worth the effort. Maybe go up to one inch if you want to do that.

Sorry, the last time I flew a p38, I was too busy getting shot down to notice the blender.  :D

Awesome setup, except that I hate that stick.  I have one, it has so much slop in it that its only about half as good as a $29 Saitek.

Jimson,

I haven't  done anything about keyboard, mouse placement yet. I haven't had much time to do anything lately, but when I have it in the office/computer room I just use the keyboard and mouse on the desk in front of the rack.
In the living room with the plasma, I've only flown offline, without keyboard.

Either that, or the wife has one too. Hopefully, like a few AHIIers, the only wife ack he'll be getting is coming from the NME cv he's near.

Nope, not single, that's why I made the damn thing, so I could store it in the shed and drag it out when I wanna play.
