I was brainstorming a creative way to incorporate a HOTAS setup into my cabinet. Initially, I thought of designing a detachable platform.
(I should have taken pictures throughout creation)
IT was ok, but tedious on removing it, hooking it etc.
While browsing through Google, I was surprised to find that no one had really come up with a solution. I started thinking about adding some kind of swing-back arm, and monitor arms immediately came to mind. The problem was that most of them didn’t offer a full 90-degree upward movement—until I came across this.
Thinking to myself, I can mod this just for a single platform.
There was a single platform holding it up.
Ordered 2.
Worked ok, but I didn't like the extra wood in between. Figured, I'd just connect the sticks just to the metal platform.
and this was the end result.
I can even float them above.
More to come..
