My first post. Of many I hope.
I'm a student at UW-Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. I'm currently a Senior expected to graduate this december with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. My background in aviation stems from my time spent in the military as a Harrier mechanic. After that I also worked for the airlines for some time. Then I decided to head back to school.
Well about a year ago my friend and I started this organization at school call the Aeronautic & Aerospace Oranization and it has been quite successful. We've taken on the task of building a flight simulator.
To date, we've purchased an old fuselage from a junkyard. Eventually inside of it will be the flight controls and radio stack we purchased from Flight Link. All this with me inside of it will be on top of what I hope to be a 3 DOF motion platform.
If you're still reading this, I'm impressed and you're obviously b0red. I have pictures if anyone is interested. If all goes well you will see me around here.......a lot. I'd like to keep a record of our progress on a website. We'll see though, there are only so many hours in the day.
Til then...
