> The real F-16 stick base has the force transducer inside the base rotated 10
> degrees clockwise.  The reason appears to be for pilot ergonomics.

> See attached file for a top down view of the rotation.
> 
> You can see this in the real thing by looking at the top chrome ring where
> the 8 socket head screws are attached to the top neck.  They are "twisted"
> 10 degrees clockwise.
> 
> What this means is that the real stick must be pulled back approximately to
> the 6:30 position to bring the nose up level, not strait back.
> 
> In your opinion, should I recreate that same 10 degree offset, just like the
> real thing or should I straighten the transducer out so it has no twist?
