Here is something I found in Reddit a while back that I plan on doing. Its a real simple and cheap way of taking a normal office chair with Arm Rests and turning it into a Flight Chair.
Im getting ready to put in an order for some and build a custom Fighter Pit for my X55. Tell me what you guys think?

Re: HOTAS recommendation?
Didn't want to make a new thread, but I have a question.
What would be good to put on the bottom of a X-55 to keep it from moving while being used but able to be picked up and relocated with ease?

Works for me too - you'll find lots of uses for it.
In the UK it's also available from Maplins (probably at twice the price), Homebase and B&Q if you want to see before buying.

Duct Tape.....
It's like the force.
It has a Light Side and a Dark Side.
And it binds the universe together....

I put velcro on the bottom of mine, which holds it to the shelf/armrest things I built for my couch, and also worked surprisingly well just sitting on the (very firm) couch cushions at my parents' house while I was out there for Christmas.
If you're using it on a desk, use the bolt-holes!
