Yay, I finally got the 'wheel stand pro' on Wednesday.....
I'm glad to be rid of that awful unsteady TV tray I was using and I am also much more relaxed and comfortable being back in the armchair with a lower seating position than the dreadful waiting room chair I had to pair with the TV tray. It feels so much better having complete stability at my hands and feet which gives much more confidence when a bit of aggressive driving is needed. here are some pics.....
You may ask why it is not flat on the floor, well I'll tell you, It's because I much prefer the 'single seat racer' cockpit position [just as you get with some play-seats and such] and the way I have it set here pretty much does the job, my feet on the pedals are roughly at the same height from the floor as my bum is on the armchair, My legs are parallel to the floor like this and I sit back in the chair with my arms slightly bent at the elbow to reach the wheel which is just a few inches above my knees.
The blue box with the wooden blocks and golf balls are just to give it a more solid and stable wedge for the 45º angle, because when I first tried to set it up on the floor at this angle without those extras there was too much movement and slippage. Also the box makes it easy to slide out of the way into the space by the wall [2nd pic] when I've had enough.
