Finally, after years of not taking the “work station” seriously I got around to fixing it this Easter .. in amongst all the egg eating and all that.
With custom cut table (with cut-out notches for the cables) I now have a table set low enough for the yoke and throttle to be comfortable yet not that low so as to catch my knee everytime I move close. Its hung off the wall like a shelf with a few extra mountings to hold the weight of the 28” screen.
The problem with yokes is: do you keep them there or constantly move them away when not in use. Well, as the “work” side of the office is opposite and has a dedicated table-top, I can keep the yoke and throttle connected and mounted permanently. All I do is throw a dust sheet over it to keep it free of cat hairs.
A couple of new shelves hold the sound system, speakers, lights and the History of Flight 100 years teddy. On screen is a Boeing 767-300 from Simmer’s Sky (Overland in Japan).
