Would anyone like to build me an FMP?

Regarding this post has someone calculated how much load would you need on a motion platfoarm to make a 2 Person for say 737 cockpit?? Like the one the Spanish guys have?? 1500KG Payload??

When you say "build me a FMP" how built up do you require? Do you require to be "pay, then plug and play" i.e. fully built up to your requirements so all you have to do is just plug it in. Or do you require just the main fabrication work, i.e. chassis and all the welding doing and you will install the electrics and test it?

Depends on many factors like real shell, wood shell but what type of wood was used. I don't think i would trust anything less then 6,000lbs capable. If you go oversize, it doesn't work as hard and will last longer.

There was a guy that was making them for around $15,000 they could stand a payload of around 3000 Pounds which at the time I thought it could do the trick!! At the time $15K sounded a lot but actually it is a good price taking into account some systmes can go from the 20K and up!! Thanks for the Info you will really need to lift some payload then!!

Simply a welded platform for me to add a seat, joystick and monitors. I don't need a canopy or any type of real cockpit as its simply the motion I'm after.
