hey, your pit is coming out nice too... albiet it a little tight in the inside, but i guess your going for some type of authentic WWII aircraft... i was impressed by the gimbal machanism...i wish my gimbal didnt have to stand 6 inches high, so i had, or im in the process of making a deck 5 inches high.
by the way...(anyone) has sugggestions for a friction system? im about to work on the collective, and i need a design that allows me to raise and lower the collective at any given height with out it having it flop down when i let go....plus i really do not want any stress on the pivot point of the collective, so ideally, the friction system will have to be pulled and pushed by the collective handle...but i am opened to any ideas....
