Still greatly enjoying my ABC Mark-I.  Paint job was extra, but well worth it:).

I never made it past Captain.

The MAW was nice enough to make me a Major.

Very perceptive, though!

Im currently looking for this old video game cabinet.

(http://www.innercite.com/~sunking/buck_rogers_1_2.jpg)


There is enough room to install a 21" monitor, throttle, flight stick and pedals easily.. The kicker is the seat. I can buy an old used bucket racing seat out of a car ... fly in comfort and installl it to my specs.!  Those ABC cockpits are cool but after an hour my wrist on my throttle hand ached and my butt was sore from the angle... not made for a guy with long arms.
