No, the grip still faces strait forward.  From the outside you would not
know it.

>> All,
>> 
>> I am trying to get a poll from potential buyers of the new base I created.
>> 
>> Here is my question to all of you:
>> 
>> 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?
>> 
>> Thanks for your response,
>> 
>> Marv
