Test fitting the new SFS box…

Posted by admin on December 29, 2009

Here’s some pictures showing the test fitting of the new SFS box.

There are only two issues with this setup – the range of motion for the stick is far too great.  This can be cured with a little “motion restriction plate” which would be just a sheet of material with a square cut out of the center and placed at the stick base.  The second issue is that the springs in the gimbal are not strong enough to keep the stick centered.

The SFS box & grip really aren’t that heavy, but the account for a huge amount of force at the end of the stick gimbal mount.  Hopefully a new set of springs can cure this without too much bother.
