Routed CP components. Need feedback!

Pages: (1/4) > >>

Nataq:

Any of you guys experienced any issue routing joysticks in the CP ? Im planning on using 3/4 MDF for the wood. Is it better routing the "plate" underneath the CP or above ? I guess that if its underneath we can only use small screws that wont go all the way to trough the wood not to get screws above the CP (I want a flat surface on my CP, no screws). But is that setup really solid ? Routing the CP above would be better ?

Need feedback fast! Im doing the CP tomorow with one of my friend! thanx!

Rout on the top!  Keep in mind the downward pressure you will be exerting on the assembly.  You then run bolt and nut through and tighten for stability.
   Oh, I guess it depends on what joystick you use, but I used the GGG Omni-stick and routed the topside. 

Nataq:

You did that on 3/4 wood ?

I routed mine on the top last night.  I like it a lot because I will get the full stick length instead of lossing 5/8" due to mounting it on the bottom.  My CP is 5/8" thick.  Check out my last posts to see pics.  I have the Happ Super Joysticks.

Yes, through the top...look at Ragged's pics.  You can also see examples at Knievel's site here http://www.freewebs.com/knievel/kustomwork.htm
