I purchased a Cessna 150 yoke on Ebay, and then mated it to my CH products yoke. I cut the handle of the yoke of the shaft as close as I could to where it mated, using a rotary cutter dremel tool. I then cut a length of dowel that would just fit inside the shaft of the CH Products. I trimmed the other end to slide inside the shaft of the Cessna yoke, drilled holes and put bolts and nuts to anchor things properly. By doing this, you can move the body of the yoke further back behind the monitor and lower the monitor, thus reducing the height. The real aircraft yoke has a better feel and authentic lookUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05276131865634579871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819564071019569069.post-76187890414902368342013-03-18T00:30:38.700+00:002013-03-18T00:30:38.700+00:00Hi Dom.

Like you say, the use of triple-screen is more about the width of field of view rather than simply size. That said, I've just restarted simming using a 38" TV instead of my old 26" monitor It's definitely a step up in immersion, if you can't afford or have room for a full triple-screen setup.Dr Vesuviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255420207375021875noreply@blogger.com
