Re: Pictures of my new 3dof motion sim going through the side of my house
Thats funny! Yes, I am blessed by the good Lord to have a wife that trusts me enough to cut a hole in the side of the house. She knew it all was happenning, just wasn't there to go into a panic state. LOL I am even more thankful to have a brother that is continually there to help me do this crazy stuff.

Great project, love what you did to the house
Won't you have problems with aging parts and finding replacements?

Luckily I bought 3 of these and have allot of spare parts. I had to swap out the Attitude board yesterday on Sim #1. Now I can take my time and repair the original one. Believe it or not, a few spare new parts are still available but pricey. These things cost 36K when new in the late 60's.

You bought 3??! No worries in the spare part department then
Do you have any additional information about those sims (just curious)?

I was a bit curious about the functions & features, is there some online resource to read a bit about them?

Not really, but there are a few sites with a little info. They were designed to mimic a cessna 150 including prop wash, aileron drag, out of rigged flight controls, P factor, etc. Good enough to get FAA certification. It use allot of real parts as well. Mine has dual Nav/Com's, DG, ADF, engine gauges, all the basic flight instruments. It does a pretty good job, not as stable as a real plane but close. Sorta like X-plane.
