Inexpensive Sim Pit

[Baumer]

Baumer, could you send me the materials and sizes of what you used on your pro 52? I tried the same to mine but wow did it not come out right. I have a new one on the way but i'm about to merge an x65 with a pro52. The x65 grip and trigger are awsome but the stick doesn't move like the pro 52.  Your pro  52 came out great!

Thanks I'm working on another x52 project currently. I'll take a few photo's and provide a parts list on how I did it. I'll post all that up tomorrow evening.

I am having my mom's boyfriend build me one.  I told him if he did, I wouldn't be opposed to the wedding  .  Of course i need to find a place to put it since my gf said something along no way in hades.  anybody got an extra gf you're not using?

ebfd11,

it took me about 10 hrs to assemble after purchasing the PVC.  A great thread on this topic was posted 17 May 2009 by TUK titled  "lets all show our units"....do a search  ...lots of outstanding rigs on that thread.
Check your PMs I sent you the paragraph on how to go about it. Any questions feel free to PM me.

I was browsing thru the net and happened on this website that has tutorials for making you own simpi out of .. wait for it...



PVC pipe, for all you gents that wanna take a look here it is.

The only down side is you have to pay to D/L the vids. But what can that hurt??

It's totally worth the 20 bucks it costs.  I bought the plans and built it and the time I would have wasted trying to figure out what went where by just looking at the photos was worth that 20 bills easily.  I love that thing.  I used to use a 5 gallon bucket with large book on it for a joystick stand it it would slide all over the damn place when I maneuvered hard.  Now everything is nice and stable and ergonomic.  1000% improvement.

Probably fairly costly to build, but this one is AWESOME.  This builder has some serious skillz.
