That's cool! If I had one I might even stay awake to the end of a flight! I recline when I fly with my laptop on my lap. It is too easy on a long flight to kick back and snooze until the plane reaches the destination and orbits overhead for a while. Then, again, I'd probably just switch seats.

Now that's interesting! Brings up some ideas. I'll bet it costs. You could buy the yoke, quadrant, and pedals as sererate units; then go to a junk yard and pick a seat out of a car and save money. Then build a homebuilt cockpit shell. For a little more you could find a company to form a fiberglass shell, but it would take a lot more planning. lr.

Hi louross Seen your screen shots of your cockpit. you look like a person that is handy with tools and enjoy build things. those 3 Tutorial are on home built cockpits. you are a wheel man So the homebrew-helicopter would work, but there is some good idea there. The howto cabina is a cool idea, I started to build it in until my wife said that was not going into my house! Well after 50 years you when to quit and move on. So I bought A desk and built the DIY cockpit.I work veary well and A way to get a working cockpit, with taking A big mortgage on the Ranch hackaday.com/2005/03/20/homebrew-helicopter-flight-sim-controls/www.flightsim.com/main/howto/cabina.htmflightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=48929 Richard
