mounting joysticks (supers)...question
(1/5) > >>
hulkster:
ive done a control panel before and when i mounted my supers, i mounted them from underneath because i didnt have a router or mounting plate or anything like that.  ive noticed that some people have their supers higher up because they have routed some.  my question is, is this necessary?  does it make that big of a difference if the joystick is higher up on the cp than if it was mounted underneath?  i have a router now, and can route out, im guessing underneath the cp top so that i can push the joystick up a little more so that more of the shaft (heh) is sticking up.  opinions are welcome.  
steve_pss:
I was really happy with the length when I under-mounted on 1/2" MDF. With a more standard 3/4" CP I think I would def. take some material off before mounting.
hulkster:
yeah i have 3/4" mdf on mine.  so you are saying i should route out some space underneath each joystick?
Minwah:
If you were happy with your sticks on an un-routed panel then you would probably be OK doing that again.  I think it is personal preference, but I would be inclined to route through 3/4" MDF about half-way to mount those sticks.  It just gives them a different 'feel', hard to describe really  :-\
steve_pss:
mamwah speaks the truth. I say route a 1/4" of and your golden on the supers.
