Cowboy10uk Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 If only I had the money, this bloke is selling a UH-1 pilot seat on EBay, as well as a cyclic, would be a great start to a Huey home cockpit, If only I could win the Lottery. ;) http://www.ebay.com/itm/WARTIME-DATED-UH-1-HELICOPTER-PILOT-SEAT-/330820259645?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D3192155470288947899%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D1011%26rk%3D4%26sd%3D190741087810%26 One day maybe, amazed at how much Huey stuff is put there to buy.

EtherealN Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 That's because they made so many of them and they ended up nearly all over the world. More than 16 000, according to Wikipedia. That is indeed quite a few. :) And while there is quite a lot of other helicopters also made, for example about 4000 Black Hawks, the UH-1 has the "advantage" of being considered old, so I suspect a lot more of them end up torn up or sold as scrap, which obviously lends itself well to making parts turn up on E-bay. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
Derk Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 Oh i wish i could... If i could have it my way i'd replicate the entire cockpit and make both seats seperate simulations. That way you can fly co-op in a single aircraft, or both fly your own. (some companies flew with the aircraft commander in the left seat in vietnam. They figured that the 'peter' (co)pilot was better at IFR flying because he was fresh out of training and thus needed the full instrument panel at his disposal.) Hm, maybe i'll have to get a paper round to fund my hobbies... If and when the kids stop keeping us up half the night that is. Bah! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
