30 degree angle for CP is it good ?

[shayvidas]

my control panel in my design came out to be at an angle of 32 degrees....
(tha'ts just my calculations could be wrong)

you think it is good ?

Depends on the height of your CP in relation to where your elbows start to bend. If your six feet high and your CP top is only 28" off the floor, than 45 degrees would be crazy steep. If you were 4' 6", 45 degrees might work well. Take 5 min and set up a peice of wood at a 32 degree angle exactly at the height of your CP top and see how it feels. Dont think you want your whole fore arm laying on it all the time, but close enough to rest your arms after some extended gameplay.

thnx everyone !!!!

i didn't got lazy and i modeled it from cardbord 1 on 1 scale
30 degrees was really not comfortable
my hands allways slide away and none the less it's not comftrable to put your hands like these
so i chenged it to 5 degrees and it felt great !
so that is what i'm using..
 
thank you all aoo msuch your the greatest !!!

What are you using to measure the angle?

What are you using to measure the angle?

well i know the length of the beam in front of angle and i know the length of the oposit beam
so i can theoretectly draw a triangle and i'd know one of it's side (it's the difrence between the beams)
then i do tangate Alpha = the beam across devided by the base (tan in a calculator)
then shift-Tan-gates to know the alpha...
then it's the angle..
(really easy todo really hard to explain ...)
here i'll post a photo

who said 11th grade math wasn't helpfull in life ??

Well done!   See...it pays off to go to school - remember math 

I went the easy way out and got a magnetic protractor angles....much easier    Just place the thing on the CP and read the angle.
