CH Products yoke -- attaching to desk problem

Featured Replies

Greetings!I recently purchased the CH Products yoke, but have discovered a problem -- it won't stay firmly attached to my desk. The front edge of my desk has a bevelled, rounded edge, and after a few moments of use (especially climbs) I find that the entire yoke assembly has developed play in the pitch axis. Still flyable, but annoying.I've tried tightening the screws down, but I'm afraid to put too many turns on them lest I strip or crack the plastic. I've also tried rigging up some cord to literally tie the yoke to the desk, but the play stubbornly refuses to disappear. My third idea was to place a 1/4 inch board over the top of my desk and clamp to both the desk and board. The pitch play was diminished, but the board soon enough started sliding.Has anybody else dealt with this situation? Is my only solution to replace the desk with one that has a squared edge? The one I have is one of those big corner units, and serves me well otherwise.Thanx for your assistance!Warren Madden

Try placing a wooden shim the same height as the rounded edge, and clamp the yoke on top of the shim.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/71019.jpg

If that doesn't work you could C-clamp a length of 1x6 or 1x8 (better) to the top of your desk with a 4" overhang.David
