>>> 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,
>>>
