Let's put it this way, TX-Bomblast, if you build one of those, I know who will be simming outside the house!That, or the phone call to Peaceful Meadows Evaluation Center will finally be made by your precious Wife. Hmmm. Could be both. How convenient for the ambulance drivers, to just walk around the back of the house and lift you outta your cockpit. HA!~Bill

If I were to build one of these, they would have to call the Fire Department as well.  I'd be hanging in a tree across the street after punching out with the ejection seat.;)TX-Deck out.

Bill, The Battlechair drives her crazy. I could just see myself in one of those....I would have to have the whole wall display though.Then the wife would just seal me in with cinder blocks, and I would never be heard from, ever again.TX-BomblastRed2

One of the greatest GA style home made throttle quadrants I have seen is on that site, and can be found here:http://www.simpits.org/articles/lego_thr/lego%20quadrant.htmat first I laughed, then I looked at it, and realized, the trim wheel is the best variant of a tim wheel I have seen, the throttle works as it should, and the prop and mixture rotate, and a flap paddle toggle all work just like the majority of common GA planes.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX Squadron XO
