Title: NE1 have dimensions on an orignal Star Wars yoke?
Post by: Tiger-Heli on June 03, 2002, 06:51:09 am

Mainly I am looking for the below panel mounting depth dimensions.  I am planning a desktop controller and need to allow enough space for it.  Just in planning now, but I thought someone here might have dimensions on this  :)

Here ya go...

The yoke itself (the external part) is a 4.5"H x 4.5"W x 5.25"D box.  The total width of the handles is 8.25" at top and 10.5" at bottom.  There is about 3" clearance between the handles and the control panel.

The mounting plate is 4.5" x 4.5"

The depth of the spring-loaded shaft bracket is 5" (from the mounting plate.)

The width of the shaft bracket is a little over 2"

The end of the shaft (with the gears and x-axis pot) is an L-shape about 4" wide and extends to the right.

Be warned that the yoke is front-heavy (it's all metal!), so if your control panel is not heavy enough, you may need to weight or clamp it down.

Hope this helps.

The mounting plate goes in from the top.

Thanks 1-Up!

I promise to wait until it's all put back together before I ask for any new dimensions.  (Just kidding!!!)

Actually, I think I have all the dimensions I need.  I'll probably E-mail you the plans when I have it a little better drawn out.

Thanks again for the help!!!!
