Wow, I am really impressed with your work man.

I may have to consult you for your expertise for the construction of one ;)


How do the Rocket/Guns toggle work? I know looking at it its functional and I'm sure its easy to explain, but I can't see how it works to my eyes.

BTW, do you have a bailout switch, or do you have the cockpit seat rigged so that once it recieves no weight, a spring activates bailout procedure?

RT,quite simple really,most of the switches are hard-wired to a hacked keyboard,while i have other that require a "shift or ctrl" command wired through a series of relays and powered by a compact 12V system,my next console which will be on my right side,will have another similiar setup for bail-out,relay switch clicking 3 times to bailout and one more to hit "O" to open chute.
thxs again RTsigma

Thxs Eagler,
Gauges will/are powered by 24V,they will be modified to accept a stepper motor,keeping the same facing and hopefully needle,
they will run through a slave system that will read flight and display on actual gauges.

" I thought that you said YOU WERE GOING TO FINISH THE WET BAR IN THE FAMILY ROOM BEFORE ARMEGEDDON !! "

or

"By the way, did you finish the shelving in the GARAGE THAT YOU PROMISED ME, WHAT, ... LIKE 3 JODDAMMMM YEARS AGO? !!! "
