Re: Folding Control Board?
We have also done a folding control board for many years. Basically three 1/4 inch lexan rectangles hinged together. The center piece should be the shortest and really just enough to accomodate the OI with the joysticks plugged in, plus an extra 2 inches on each side that will support the other wings when the board is open. The joysticks should be mounted on a two pieces roughly 18 inches long. A couple 2x4's at the top with some velcro for a bit of support and a rope carrying handle and you should be good! I dont have exact dimensions at the moment, but if you PM Jim Zondag I believe he would know.
