I want one. What happens when you push the eject button? My wife would like a remote activated one, especially when it's tea time.

Hi Flexman,

Could make the back open, the seat tip up and drop me down a chute in to Thunderbird 2. In reality it closes the mission in EECH and takes me back to the menu (boring ... the first option would have been better, but wife wouldn't let me cut a big hole on the dining room ceiling which is directly below. Can't understand women sometimes .......

Andy

Lol Andy, could almost imagine you pulling levers and yelling "Thunderbirds Are Go" and the wife downstairs shaking her head and saying "Oh no here we go again"


Btw standing here typing this, beside a big oil painting, and waiting to go the Thunderbird 1 lol

Yeah Hitch, as a matter of fact, I do love the stuff Andy's been doing.
But then again he and I keep in touch (outside of the forum) about our builds, so I always have a close and eager eye on what he's doing!

Besides, his and mine are the only 2 Comanche pits I know of, so it's probably in our best interest to stick together. bottles


As for my lack of posts, all I can say is that while progress on putting the sim back together is slow to stalled (so there aren't many new pics), I am always lurking about and I do weigh in...... occasionally.

Really great pit!
In case you are interested, while researching for my Apache pit project, I found what seems to be the original manufacturer of the RAH-66 collective grip...

Finding them isn't the hard part.... Guardian, Mason, Otto, etc.
The hard part is affording it!
Last time I price checked a real grip, it was about $15,000 USD dizzy
(And that was without the guts!!!)
