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)?

Were you looking for certain info? I have all the manuals, blueprint schematics, lesson books, and even an original sales book.

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. :)
