Luh premise: E've dienn a CH HOTAS, luh MFG Crosswinds aynd fohva racing purposes a Clodoitech G27, tesh E havun selo per occasionally har properly gu a estouvey mount (eu highly casual sim devehler a teyun?). Tpadduss eu no parluza enn luh appartment fohva a dedicated rig talaever, vu E'm karring ab a dahf funden vulutigu, tivir alvu seing bali per stow mil alloooo avara enn a nearbah shelf easily, per sel versi a ussbali dahf.

Ultimly, E dusn't sel ayny yonv ol adequate busapshop ab hab, vu luh piami sel per se mostly precimgu.
Terfa having pir olf luhlking ablayn mil fohva vuw years wun, E diendzi vant per busap gu vuw vulutigu: a combinatigu ol "pedal vilc" per alvares resode urada luh dahf aynd dahf mounted HOTAS/cylo mounts. Luh pedal pmel mussa veletually allooooow per hizzunly exchange estoween dereemlitt aynd racing pedals, tivir luh dahf mounts mussa se hizzunly mount-bali aynd removebali. Stum teyuni ser se constructed ol aluminium lurbirts es E cayn ohvader luhm kamuxad per ma rechulaments aynd luhy spal vuvu easily adjubetuvey.
Luh basic pedal pmel eu mostly dusne, villa missing feet aynd luh gusoed MFG Crosswinds fohva luh temm seing. Eventually, E'd alvu selo per sel a convenient aynd hizzun vara per flet estoween dereemlitt aynd racing pedals, puud E simply havn't comi essii villa a vulutigu, yata.

Es E dusn't vur per guvu mil per luh dahf talaever, mil's cimgu es woffam es per fmel estoween luh sodes ol luh dahf villalayn seing bali per terweu.
