Finished up the flap lever tonight. Just have to cut a couple gears to drive the potentiometer.

Welcome back Shawn. Bye

A tailwheel lock? What type of plane is your simulator simulating?

It's going to be a generic cockpit that will allow you to fly almost and small aircraft. Twin engine fixed wing to small helicopter. A lot of people chose a specific aircraft and model the cockpit as close to that as they can. I don't fly that much and when I do it is often 3-4 aircraft in a single session. Plus this way I get to build more parts? Fie season is really ramping up so I don't expect the get much more done til the fall.
Thanks for the comments

Shawn.

I would be interested in hearing what your son has to say. CAE make the best simulators in the planet as far as I can tell. The metal parts I'm building sure feel better than the typically plastic controls you can buy off the shelf.

I finally got the pedals welded up for the fixed wing side of the sim. My welding really needs work.

Always room for improvement in anything we do. Look on the positive side Shawn, if the welds fail it will only be a simulated disaster!
