Looks like they are QTC based. It's one of the few bits of Quantum mechanics that has an application in real everyday life. |

Hi Shawn, Looking good. I saw over on hackaday, a link to this guy's flight sim Cockpit.I realize jis is kind of basic, but I didn't know there is a whole culture around it... Eric |

Hi Eric, it's actually amazing some of the cockpits folks are building in their basement. There are thousands of people and a number of websites dedicated to home cockpit building. I like the building part more than the flying but a trip around the patch with a beer or three is good fun. I decided the pedals were going to be a dual setup so I got to work on building a dual flight stick to go with them. Ready for welding, I had my wire feed set way to high and instead of stopping and figuring out what was wrong I welded most of both parts first. : ( I really need to do more welding : ) Powder coated and ready for baking You will just have to imagine the axle running between these parts.

Some more progress... I need to bend some tube for the actual control sticks, the PVC tube I am using for the photos is way to flexible plus I don't think I can bend it properly. Any suggestions on bending aluminum tubing without the right tools? Shawn |
