Title: Joystick height and CP thickness considerations
Post by: releasedtruth on August 08, 2006, 04:52:56 pm

This is my first CP so I want to get it right or at least know how to have gotten it right. I'm planning on getting a pair of Happ competitions and a set of the SlikStik aluminum replacement handles. I know the replacements are 1/4" longer, which is nice, but that means I have to decide how to mount the sticks.

My CP is 1/2" ply with 1/8" Lexan for a total height of 5/8"  I can top or under mount them, just need a little advice on what the right height would be (comfort). I have pretty big hands if that matters.

It's freaking me out that you choose Patrick too....but I'll let that pass.

You may find the RetroBlast joystick round up helpful----

Kevin gave the mounting depth/dimensions for all of the top sticks.
