Title: Hello from Kamloops, BC, Canada
Post by: Bishop on December 15, 2013, 04:31:25 PM

Hello everyone

My name is Shawn and I'm a hobby machinist who enjoys tinkering with just about anything. I got into the hobby of machining due to another hobby of flight simulation. When I starting building a flight simulator I realized I would need some specific tools and skills which led to a two car garage packed with metal working tools.

This looks like a great forum and I hope to learn a lot and contribute where I can.

Hiya Shawn,

Welcome to the collective :borg:

I took a quick peek at your other thread, nice work! Flight simulator?? I would be interested in seeing that. Do you fly as well? My wife's cousin (pilot) has mentioned that MS Flight Simulator can be used as a training aid.

Hi Shawn, and welcome,

You're the first member on here, that I've seen interested in flight simulation, it's a great relaxing agent....

Thanks again for the warm welcome guys. Rotorhead, is that an auto-gyro or a helicopter in your avatar? Eventually I plan to build and fly a small ultralight, I just have to build the shop first.
