Info on stick length required
Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2006 8:19 pmDoes anyone have the exact length of any WWII aircraft sticks or yokes from the floor pivot point to the pilots handgrip.
No, but I once sat in a Meteor at the East Midlands Air Museum and measured from the seat upwards.
The stick was four inches from the seat-top to the bottom of the grip, and then another seven-and-a-half inches from the bottom of the grip to the very top.
So the distance from the seat-top to the stick top was eleven-and-a-half inches.
Now, if you can just figure out how high the seat was ...
I did the measurement so that I could figure out how to place my flight-sim stick in relation to the seat that I use. I'm guessing that you're doing something different.
