Real RAF Merlin collective project

Here it is partially assembled, you can see the motorbike steering damper in the background and the hollow brake disc in place. It's the only part that is mild steel rather than stainless as the electromagnet needs to grip this.

Lovely piece of work, how long do you think it will take to complete?

Thanks, I only designed it, the credit for the amazing build quality goes to my friend who made it

 

It is fully functional now and has been for a while although I have had some longer periods of other games / sims and family time so have not used it as much as I would have liked yet. I am desperate now though, I pre ordered the HP Reverb G2 (G1 was amazing) and got it on day one. unfortunately I returned my graphics card to make way for a 3080Ti which didn't show up when expected and the 3080s are impossible to get! I feel like a drug addict, 'desperate for a hit' waiting to get my GPU so I can get flying again!!! 4 weeks maybe until the 3080Ti if the rumours are correct but whether I can get one is another matter.....
