Thank you sir!!! You are too kind. (and the camera is VERY kind to my work, it doesn't look anywhere near as good IRL)

My main problem now is that I have run out of space so I can't build any more. If I had room I would build a Twin Otter next, then a Tiger Moth, then a Sopwith Camel, but that probably takes me up to about 2025, a second house and on to (approx) the third or fourth wife from now... smile wink

Thanks! Just added the little CRT last night to try out TouchBuddy and TouchPal. Works ok but I think a little touchscreen might be a better answer.... or maybe I should get a bigger monitor instead? Ah, so many options.

Here are the latest pics of the pit. I cut new sides for it and mounted them on hinges so it can fit through doorways and also not take up so much space when I'm not using it.

I plan on boxing the frame in to make it look a little neater, and painting the frame gray and staining the visible wood black.

To make it easier to move around, there is a large handle on the back. I'm going to add wheels to the front so you can lift it up the back and the front will be on the wheels. (think wheelbarrow)

The seat cushions are from a regular roll-around office chair. The bottom cushion is mounted onto the metal frame from a pressure washer. The pressure washer frame also makes up the handle on the back. It actually worked out really well!

Game on the screen is DCS: Blackshark. I plan on buying DCS: Warthog, when it comes out. I may add two MFDs at that time. I also play FSX, IL2, ROF, and LOMAC FC2.
