whartsell Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The SS extension weighs about 2x the aluminum one. I haven't noticed a difference yet and the springs have no problem handling the extra weight or the offset of the stick behind the gimbal. As for shipping to UK, I have never done international shipping so it will take me a bit of time. The weight is only about 1.5 lbs total but im not sure if the weird dimension will require any special packaging. Ill let you know Arduino,EOS and Helios Tutorial Static ATC menu mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHawthorne Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's been out for delivery since 6:45 this morning. Talk about fast shipping. Flim only dropped it off last last night for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHawthorne Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The box arrived without issue. Flim also promptly sent me the assembly instruction PDFs via email. Looks like I'm all set once I have some free time to assemble things. Everything looks in good order. Thanks, -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHawthorne Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm still a bit backlogged on my to-do lists. I'll probably start picking Flim's brain come this weekend though to start assembling my kit. At the moment I'm still trying to dig myself out of exiting to-do's. It'll be good to finally have a seat dedicated to flight simming. That's been the largest impediment to seat-time for me in sims. Rudder pedals and sticks scooting around randomly on a regular desk gives me nerd rage. About time I addressed that with a kit like this. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flim Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Threw some paint on mine yesterday... Not bad for roll-on-brush ! If you get the good stuff, it works pretty well. Also, as you notice no monitor except on the side... The rift does save tons of room for setups like this! Edited August 14, 2013 by Flim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flim Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 What paint did you use? All surface enamel ( Sherman Williams) -- light gray with a little blue... Not perfect, but goes on thick--- and looks realistic because the real seats are all beat up anyhow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalnwood Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I had a couple local guys buy Flims plans so one of them came around and we cut out four of them. One greedy bugger wanted two of them after I got him to go triple 42" screens he is now going to have two sims with a single 42. For those of us in the metric world I just used 6mm and 12mm sheets. No problems fitting it all together. The plans are good. The $65 to buy them is nothing considering how much time you can spend trying to do something yourself. It's nice and compact, I am going this way rather than a full on pit because I believe the oculus will be the way to do things.. Pics below, only a quick primer but I will leave it like that.

BHawthorne Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) For ease of application I might just use matte gray spray on mine. Used the same thing on the F-84F cockpit I did for the Kansas Aviation Museum and it's held up well on a real cockpit. Think it'll do just as good on a kit. Recently did a staircase for my house, so I have a manual router table. I'll probably knock down the sharp edges on the CNC cuts with that to prep it before sanding and paint.
