Top Mount Joystick idea

Donkbaca:

^^^^ this. You probably would still want a wood overlay though do that your Stuka don't sit too high if you have sticks meant for wood panels. Plus you would want to cover the joystick plates. They are ugly

afaik, the Ultimarc kit is for bottom mounting - a good solution in that regard.  The round bolt-heads are something I'd prefer not to have sticking above my CP.

The countersink option I had seen, but was concerned about the precision needed.  Sounds like a good option, however, and I think I will try it with at least one stick to see how it goes.  Routing a recess for the plate itself also requires a degree of precision, so the countersink can't be much more difficult (famous last words?)

As for overlay - yes, something is needed.  I'd prefer something from Game on Graphics, but a thin piece of hardboard, veneer, laminate, etc would also work.  If the stick is high and meant for undermounting, then undermounting is probably the best thing to do.  I've tried mine both ways in test CP's and am leaning towards top-mount.  (These are U360's with standard length shaft)

thx for all the feedback
