I met these chaps at SummerSim 2010 last October where they had 4 of running a networked game of of something, very nice folks. The kits seemed solid.

Still not able to get in touch with them. Called this morning (5pm UK) & got the machine.

Maybe they'll answer the FB post or email. I'm chomping at the bit on this one!

The reason I never offered a kit of the Series One is the amount of time it takes to cut the components and the costs to ship it. At a price I could sell it, I'd be in the hole on each one.

Although the cut time may be a lot shorter now - I've been experimenting with cutting at high feed rates. The last two sheets of parts for the collimating mirror project were run at 4 inches/sec.

Sorry Wild Bill, (and anybody else who has tried to make contact) I have just been directed to this thread. Check your PM mate. It would seem that the email redirect on the web page is no longer functioning. It used to....weird!

PM sent Niall,

Thanks for the response. Ready to do some business.

Disagree with you Gene.

I know I'm in the market for a kit as that's all the time I can devote to it. I've read the "so you know what you're getting into" portion. I'd love to give it a whirl but working 24 shifts as a fireman, with another part time job & being a new father I'm scared I'd get started & put the thing on hold way to much to even justify getting started in the first place. Afraid it would just be taking up a parking spot in my garage after spending the cabbage on the materials.

A kit & a few weekends however. Oh yeah, I'm on board! I think allot of others would be too.

Simming was a passion of mine, but get benched due to life. Now I'm stuck playing "Wings of Prey" on the XBox (the reason I got an XBox) in the middle of the night & man it stinks. Just reminds me how much I've missed all the great stuff on PC. Now I've got a PC that cn handle the newer stuff on the market & am ready to try building a pit.

I still may try the Series One, depending on Creative Cockpits' ability to offer theirs here in the States. It's not a matter of craftsmanship as I've only seen pics of both & both ARE nice. It's a matter of where the hell am I going to find the time to do that, much or less purchase/borrow the tools to do it.

I'd give it a try Gene, you may surprise yourself.

Acctually no, you may not. I've read through you're things on line, it's all pretty impressive brother!

Shameless bump. Hoping to keep interest in this.
