1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted April 22, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Not liking a swivel chair whilst flying and not wanting to buy a new one, I was looking for a way to sit comfortably and use the pedals securely ie stop them moving about on the carpet. I tried sticking things to the pedals' base using double-sided sticky tape (I watched Blue Peter) and it worked, but it started to get messy and the non-slip stuff went into small rolls and became uneven. So, having already adopted a dining room chair with parachute/cushion I looked for a way to attach the pedals to the chair. After a bit of measuring and buying some offcuts from B&Q for £1, I came up with this.... After using it for a couple of weeks it was time for some refinement And in place Nice and secure, no movement whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Nice one Sid! We could refine that further, add a DangerDogz logo to it, sell it for £89.99 a pop and we'd be BILLIONAIRES!!! You in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hello Sid I had the same problem so I built a frame and modded the chair and now have a detatchable joystick mounting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer57 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Damn......that's cool. I use a swivel chair and my pedals are propped against the wall. I have to have the stick really low because of my numbing hands, so I have it on a clipboard on my lap. I need to rig something different..............hhmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted April 22, 2008 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The joystick etc fits nicely onto the mobile part of the desk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 it looks as though there are sticks of dynamite under the chair.....first generation ejection seat perhaps???!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 it looks as though there are sticks of dynamite under the chair.....first generation ejection seat perhaps???!! Thats the Buttkicker It can get a bit noisey when the engine starts up. Sigh it hasnt made my flying any better but it was fun to work out what I needed to do and how to do it. My favorite bit is the detatchable joystick mounting on some draw runners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
