Hey pads
check out the pics in my pit. I extended my MS Precision Pro FFB 1 stick without too much trouble.

The throw is still ok and the force effects still work fine.
The extension was about 6 inches and heavens knows we all wouldn't mine an extra 6 inches on our sticks hey !! ;D

ps- I would be interested in seeing your gimbals (not to be taken personally !! ;D)

cheers
chuck

Have sourced a gameport CH Pro Fighterstick from e-bay so the game is on... ;-)

First job to USB-ify the stick (think I'll be using another of Leo's joystick controllers for this) and then to take another look at my marvellous mechanical meccano gimbal...

I'll be playing with this on and off through the summer as work and sunshine allow. Pics to follow.

Cheers,

Pads
