Greetings from the new Dude.
This is my 'ride, 'One More Time. She's a slow project...I started building her in 2005 and still haven't finished !. She is built full scale using the original NAA drawings and contains as much original equipment that I can find / afford.
Her last outing this year is end of August and then she is going to be gutted so that I can install replacement top longerons manufactured to the correct dimension. I'm also going to be attempting to re-create the windshield assembly by using the original drawings, instead of using odd bits of Ali extrusion I had laying about.
Currently, there is a 200 Watt sound system bolted up under the seat / back of the armour plate, and earlier this year, I installed a 3 lever Saitek throttle quadrant behind the instrument pane that I have jury-rigged to the original quadrant. When I take her to shows / events, I get the public to climb in her and I talk them though how top start up a Merlin...using the Accusim '51.
Don't panic, I have now uploaded the DCS '51 and will be using that form now on !.
When she is gutted, I will be installing a PC rudder assembly to the back of the firewall connected to her pedals using a single rod, and I have a AV8R PC joystick that I am going to modify and install (I'll be keeping the original !).
My plan is to get a decent PC system and then go down the VR route :-)
Anybody else using a full size '51 'pit ?.
