Simulator parts

[Shawn]

The main reason for me getting involved with machining was another hobby of mine, flight simulation and making simulator cockpits, controls etc. I know, weird hobby Machining quickly grew into a hobby of its own but I really appreciate the ability of being able to make pretty much whatever I want to now. The one issue is that anything I built previously doesn't make the grade now so I have a lot of parts to rebuild.

This is a photo of the last full simulator I built



This is a bad pic of some helicopter flight controls I built from scratch, lots of fun to fly with proper feeling controls. The pedals provide some fairly realistic resistance via a set of hydraulic steering dampness made for pocket bikes.



Same controls just a few modifications earlier.
