How long is your stick? :o
(1/3) > >>

I've been thinking for a little while about how I'm going to mount my t-stick plus with red balltop, and I've come to the conclusion that mounting it under the cp with t-nuts will make it a bit low...

My CP is 3/4" mdf, which I planned to route (sp) the bottom out to make 1/2" as I used in my experimentation, but it still seems too short.

As you can see in the attached pic, the top of the ball is only 2

I mounted mine straight onto the bottom of my 3/4" CP, with the long balltops.
They are a bit low, but have a good Crazy Climber feel to them.

My Wico's are definitely taller.
I routed those 3/8", and did a bottom mount on them too.

Here's the drawing I did.  Yes I did it on cad and yes I have too much time on my hands.  :P

BTW I've also considered extending the bracket top and bottom, adding 4 more bolts and having it mount more like a TB mounting plate.

i would definitely route that. mine is plenty strong enough at 6mm which in biblical terms is 1/4 ". It doesnt feel too short to me but then im used to shortish sticks anyway so i dont notice the extra 6mm. the aluminuim was just to give something nice for the vinyl contact to stick to but i guess it would strengthen it a little...
just had a thought though. you could just do a shallow route on the top side, cut a large hole for the joy to sit in and skin it in ali like mine. then the effect would be the same as if the joys were mounted to a metal panel. drawback would be the wacky shaped hole youd have to cut i guess.
you could just make it from metal...

crashwg: Do you have the 'long' or 'short' balltop stick?

It doesn't look too bad to me, maybe route 5mm or so if you think it will bother you.
