madhatter3339 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I guess I have a couple of complaints or suggestions!! I didn't like the way the plexiglass has to be installed a little risky and ive cracked a few pieces before!!! I also don't like the screws on the top of the control panel for the joysticks! If I was putting artwork on the control panel and then plexiglass I would countersink the screws so you don't see or feel them. Other than that I think its great for someone who either lacks the tools or knowhow to make one or if they don't have the time!!! Price is ok as well!! If you had the tools and the knowhow to build one with artwork it would cost about the same but cost you a lot of time!!! Good luck to you guys!!!
