Naa, I like radials, if you get a jug or two shot out you are fine...but with water cooling, if they hit the radiator you are toast

Youtube video of the first flight, sorry it is so poor. This is also my first attempt at making a video for youtube.

That is just...awesome.

Makes me wish I had the space for something like that.

Update:

The Simpit has been painted inside and out and moved to its new home (7x12 walk-in closet of a spare bedroom).

The Leo Bodnar programable joystick controller arrived today (12bit, 8 axis, 32 button [plus 8 way hat inputs], 16 position rotory switch compatable)! I am going to go nuts with this thing this weekend and hopefully have pictures tommorow.

I have it moved and painted (mostly). I have reworked the instrument panel but have no new pictures of it as yet.

Home Sweet Home. This is a walk-in closet in an unused bedroom.



Under the hood again, black paint to highlight the PC parts. In the background you can see the Leo Bodnar BU0836X, it is well worth purchasing the quick connect version. Oh boy did this make a difference in controls. I was going to redo my pots with hall effect but I think I will leave it alone, it works increadibly well. I have two ASUS 9600GSO's in SLI up front (couldnt pass up 35.99 each)



You can see the wiring mess (temporary I hope) from the buttons. I have a rotary switch and a several momentary toggles on thier way.



A view of the projector mount. It needs to be properly mounted and the wires routed but I plan on removing it to paint the walls. I have not yet decided on black or dark blue. I am leaning toward a medium blue though (so we do not have to repaint when we sell this monsterous house)



A couple showing the cockpit itself. I have the rudders set at the perfect distance (for me) and the joystick is mounted on a pedestal. I used a piece of that rubber roofing with a hole in the middle to make the stick self centering.



Hanging on the left combing you can see the headset I made to hold the Freetrack 3-point clip and my microphone. (that stick with a handle is so I can turn the lights off, lol.)



There it is so far. I need to finish the throttle quadrent (oh boy does that work nice) and build some other 'extras', like perminently mount the USB port near my shoulder (for the FreeTrack head clip), a port for my mic, a set of pots for trims, some push pull pots on the dash for magneto and radiator. I will need another Leo Bodnar unit for the extra pots (Oh darn! Excellent quality units, did I mention that?)
