Hey Odee,thxs sir.The design is my own,if you'd like i can send ya' measurements and you can adjust from there.First question you may want to ask is to what level you want to take it and how much jingle in the pocket?

my current cost at this point/level is now hovering at $175.00 but alot of the items were found on EBAY and some searching around second-hand stores for joysticks(you'd be surprised how many MFF,3D PRO's precision pro's i found) .
Many thxs for the links,it's driving me crazy that i can't find more detail info on such a popular plane.I guess i'll have to resort to the tried and true method of how we use to do things,
a trip to the ..(gulp) library

Drediock,

I had the same problem with my X45 - it seemed to small for my hand. However, someone suggested to me that the pinkie extension switch comes off fairly easily. I tried it, found out that it snaps off with no problem, and now my hand fits inside comfortably. If you have bigger hands than that, I might suggest trying the CH sticks - they have a reputation for being on the large side.

Hey Nasty Interesting Pit,

I have a question, are the guages wired in to the game or are they just for looks?

nsty1 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2004, 05:39:09 PM »

at this phase,they are trial fit.They will be coming out for final fitting and modification.I'm planning to mod them to stepper motors which will get the info from dedicated pc which will also take care of reading flight data. and thxs btw

Proceed in an orderly manner to the shelters..

An all clear siren will be sounded when it is safe to exit the shelter.

DO NOT EXIT UNTIL THE SIREN IS SOUNDED.

Roger that and please do send the measurements... I use CH Pro gear (Throttle, Pedals, and F-16 Comat stick...) Gotta upgrade the throttle to USB and then my next project will be running

Instruments, seat, padding, and all that I can get from a plane grave-yard near here for prolly dirt cheap. If not, well I;ll just fake it with a photo overlay of the real deal. Kinda static, but hey... WTF eh?

There used to be a guy that sold Spit IX and P-51B simpits. They were about $1000, but they were amazing. Even had sliding canopies IIRC.

nsty1,

Thats the best damn use of the ABdoer I've seen yet. It works well as a clothes dryer at my house.

Suntracker,was this someone in your home-town or on the internet? if you still have a link,i'd be interested in talking to him.
also,i'll be installing a sliding canopy as well.

Is this Pit for AH ??

How do those gauges work with AH ?

I didn't think you could turn off the cockpit in AH ?
