I had a good friend who is a master machinist make a stand for the Orion 2 F-16 flight stick and it came out GREAT!. It is made out of steel and was welded and spray painted black. The Winwing Orion is very well constructed and very realistic. I am using it for flying my H-145 helicopter in FS2020. The company Winwing makes very nice FS accessories and they ship fast and everything comes in well designed packages. I could not be more pleased. FWIW
