Do you fly while you build?

Build and fly. I do find that building can take up more time than flying, and sometimes I don't want to fly until "just one more" panel is built.

 

However since my cockpit is loosely based on the SU-25T, I find that "immersion" is reduced with flying other planes since the switches aren't in the same places. Land gear lever is always in the same place, so that gets used a lot.

 

I'm thinking about dismantling the cockpit because it takes up a bit of floor space (3' x 5') and making desktop clamp-on boxes with a limited number of switches.

Guilty as charged.....

Also guilty. I have the Warthog stick and CH pedals I could use, but one of the reasons I'm building is the top of the stick (on my desk) is the same height as my shoulder, and the ergos are abominable. My desk isn't suited to using a mount, so I was cornered into a build.

 

 

The good news is I'm just a couple weeks from done, particularly with all the holidays (in the US) coming up. The bad news is there's a lot of painting to do, and the temps are hovering around freezing for the next week at least.

My VR simpit is the mother of WIP, guilty also,.. ;)

Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment.

Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

 

Currently rolling with a Asus Z390 Prime, 9600K, 32GB RAM, SSD, 2080Ti and Windows 10Pro, Rift CV1. bu0836x and Scratch Built Pedals, Collective and Cyclic.

I for one will work on my project for weeks without flying then take a break when I hit a snag or get bored and start flying again for a couple weeks, last time I flew is when we had the Autumn sale and I bought the Hornet, flew it a couple weeks and now I'm back at building

 

I think I'm more of a fabricator then a flyer

Remember: "Perfect is the enemy of Done."

 

Ha! True...

I have a saying that perfection is not a state, it’s a path... ;)

 

I didn’t fly for a couple of months, while I built my

.

But now I’m just taking breaks to add or change stuff and get to fly regularly.
