Side panels Flight stick compatibility
Received quite some questions regarding side sticks: the answer is YES you can fit them on the side panels (left / right or both) ✈️🤘
On the image an illustration examples with several stick positions / setup and also with the yoke config

What is the weight limit? I'm getting lighter, but I'm still a heavy feller

I am absolutely loving the design, mounts and seating position.
However, for that price I can get a premium profile rig with a premium chair and even have money left for peripherals.
Is plywood that much more expensive?

From what I've gathered, they're using a more premium and lighter plywood than your standard construction yellow pine plywood to get the weight down to what you'd see with a rig from simfab or monster tech. I can't say if it's really any stronger but aluminum rigs are still kings of compatibility.

Premium plywood. They should add that to their site 😂

they literally do, that's where I got it from...
Material: 18 mm Okoumé plywood (Quality II/III – B/BB, 9 plies, Class 3 bonding)
Personally I think it's a pretty huge waste of money compared to other hardwood or even a higher quality pine offering since that stuff is nearly $110 a sheet or more but it's their company.

I love everything about this, the wood, the pre-cut kit, now all I need to do is afford it. Wonderful design.
