Opencockpits MCP V/S Wheel how to mount

[mrmaster]

Hi, I am struggling to find a solution on how to mount the v/s wheel onto the panel with the rotary encoder - how did you do it? how am I supposed to mount it?

Can't you just glue the encoder sideways on the back of the panel ?

[mrmaster]

I could but I am afraid of ruining the encoder... and there is a weird looking plastic part that came with the package but doesn't fit in any way....

[tiburon]

If you use hot glue you won't ruin the encoder. What does the plastic part look like ?

[mrmaster]

that won't be sufficient - i think the wheel is probabyl exposed to a lot of pressure when being rapidly scrolled.... http://x737cockpit.files.wordpress.c...1/img_0056.jpg

The plastic part looks as if the encoder would fit in it. Use super glue and I think you'll be alright
