I was just telling my squaddies that I was seriously contemplatin' building the same one, and prolly will.
Look here for more  "PITS PICS" and some other ideas.

Here's a pic of Frugal's finished Pit


There's been one small snag in the project so far, to quote the wife "You've lost it!" this places me into the barter/begging phase of construction as of right now.

Also was looking at some instruments like these from The Real Cockpit web site


Or one of these from FlightSim Central

GF-LGT Landing Gear and Trim Control Module

Real fighter pilots don't need solid food...just a bottle of scotch.  Once the bottle is empty, it can be re-utilized as a relief device.
