This is a great video. Nice prospective for the camera angle. I felt more like I was in a SR-71 ready to head into high speed. :cool:

Well Done :D :D :D

Wow,

Thats excellent. You did a great job on that. Working with gears would be a little out of my reach I am afraid.

Makes people like me dream though.

Keep up the great work!

Fantastic Hans! Your engineering skills are first rate. It sometimes amazes me how many sim-builders are actually pretty damn good engineers without any formal training.

I'm not saying you're not a degreed engineer though! :)

God I love this hobby.

I'm not and never was. Sometimes I resent that fact (all the nice things I could have built with enough time and resorces at a place like Boeing Corp).

But some strange twist of fate made me a banker. Well, at least my job pays for my hobby (which I love as much as you)!

Best,
Hans

And if it doesn't, Just approve yourself for a Loan :)

Either way your a talented individual.

Best regards,
