Hey,
Just want to tell something about me.
I`m 35YO, came from Poland now living in Staten Island, NY. I`m not a real pilot :( but I wish I was one. 2 years ago I took like 22hours on Piper Warrior III but It stopped when I changed my plans and I started to look for my future house. I thought I will finish my pilot license later but when our son Matthew was born I knew I wont be financially able to do that. No regrets, son is worth giving my childhood dreams. He is my dream now.
I love flying, I have been flying using simulator for long time but joystick and monitor wasnt enough so I started to build 737 simulator in my bedroom. My wife wasnt happy but she was OK with it. First project was half cockpit only, after 2 months i destroyed and I build new full size. It was good for another 2-3 months before it was destroyed. I didnt like my job that much, I knew I can do much better. It was again destroyed and rebuild.
Last year I bought my house and I moved from Queens to Staten Island and guess what? I destroyed that simulator again but I removed all electronics. Now I have a shed in my backyard so I already started my new project which is going to be a beauty. This time I will build throttle quadrant first, then overhead and then rest of the cockpit. I did my own building design of throttle based on various designs from various sites. Yesterday I checked servos and levers are fully auto and working fine.
I want to finish whole project by summer next year. I have to find time for my wife, our 22 month son and this project, so you see why it will take me long time but will mange somehow. I will post more photos later on builders section.
Feel free to contact me and If I can I will help.
When It will be finished pilots are welcome to test it. :)
First photo is project number 2.
Second is project number 3 under construction, sorry no finish photos.
Thanksss
Marcin
