A few more items have been made for the cockpit, these include the winscreen De-icing control.
And the front windscreen assembly and glazing.

Don't worry Dave I think I've found a 66 with a Rotol hub, just waiting to hear back from a person with this...

Does this mean I don't have to "beef up" my wheelchair to "borrow" the one from Hendon?

Thanks for the very kind words chaps, and the interest. But it is just a simulator.

It may not ever fly, but it sure isn't just a simulator. It'll be a flightsim
experience!Forgive me for being lazy and not going back over old posts, but as an A/V guy I'm very curious about the display you intend to use with this thing... or have you had time to figure that out yet?

Surely you're not just going to put a monitor in front of it...?!

Dave,
For your display I am envisioning sort of a white geodesic dome made out of projection screen material sitting with the "aircraft" in the center.
