Being a desktop jockey, i was wondering this very thing. So i wont bother with an angled pipe. Plus the pipe mechanical stress relief ring would be harder to implement for an angled pipe.
@Red:
technically you’re right raptor, but in our reclined seat position, our arm is not folded at 90° but more
so if you’re seating on an horizontal seat, your arm will fold to 90° and the not reclined handle will fit your hand ergonomicallyEach situation needs to be studied on a case by case scenario. It will not only depends if mounted horizontally but where it is mounted.
If it’s on the desk, the reclined tailpiece actually is less ergonomic than the straight mounting (imho) as it becomes way harder to reach the button due to your rotated wrist - which is exactly what should be avoided)
if the stick is mounted at the knee level, then the reclined piece becomes more important, because the arm angle can be opened up and the handle rest in hand ergonomically as wellimho, the reclined tailpiece should only be considered for mounting at the leg level, not on desks
then yes, the next consideration is how the pilot is seated -

Not hard at all. I did it.

Yeah, I’ve thought of several ways to do that…and to make a replacement ring that look more like the knurled attachment ring on a real stick.
I’ve gotten side-tracked from building my cockpit to build a CNC routing machine, which I’m also planing to put a 4th axis on…got parts all over my living room coffee table at present. We’ll see just how successful I can get.

Weird. It was working for a while. I re-uploaded it.

That’s pretty much what I imagined. What material you use that was strong enough, metal?
-
I used wood and wrapped it in black tape at first. It worked perfectly fine. Second version is plastic. It just needs something to take off some of the pressure on the stick casing. It does not need to be metal, although metal would be fine also.

What exactly does this do? Clamp to the stick base and butt up against the underside of the grip to decrease the slop?

Yes
