Building A Real 172 Flight Sim With Real Controls!!
Added 2021-10-26 02:56:38 +0000 UTCThis is my last build project before the move, it was half done when I got the notice that I was being pushed out of the space but I had to go back and finish it up and make this condensed video of about a week's work. Worth it though, because this flight sim is the real deal! Enjoy!

My initial thought was "Why bother? What's wrong with some generic flight sim controls?". Then once you built it, it sure looks like a nice idea and actually makes sense.

2021-10-28 01:21:26 +0000 UTCThe GoFundMe pretty much paid for some of the initial expenses I had in the first weeks, but it's on pause until I get back to it next year (possibly).

2021-10-27 14:18:27 +0000 UTCI'm not sure, but on Ebay you can search for the 3m phone film or something like that....

2021-10-27 14:17:29 +0000 UTCIngenious and meticulous as ever Fran, I hope you can use some of the money from the flight school go fund me, to pay for the time to keep your hours up for your student license (sorry I know my terminology is all wrong there., but I hope you'll know what I mean)

2021-10-26 19:08:07 +0000 UTCThe DIY composite is very cute indeed, especially the part about bonding the core after getting the linkage action right just with the semi-rigid skins. So what is the name/product-ID of the 3M adhesive film??
