I've always had the stick on my desk, on my lap, etc, and my pedals sliding all over the floor. I've just kinda gotten tired of that, and would like a more realistic configuration.

Agreed. I started with a very comfortable chair. I replaced the padded armrests with 10" X 36" pieces of plywood. The joystick rests on the plywood.. Then I built a simple plywood wedge about 30" wide by 30" deep tilted up.. Put the rudder pedals on the wedge to stabilize and attain more realistic position. A little effort goes a long way.

That said, I think building a more realistic stick, rudder and spoiler has merit, especially if it is portable. But do you make it feel like a 2-33 or a ASK-21?
