Post by: Trevor Hale on October 27, 2009, 08:53:10 AM
Ok, Ok, Ok...  Now, I know I am nuts..  and most of us here are..  but can you Imagine spending 50K on your sim, but not building the cockpit?

Craziness. Though I can see how it could be used to temporarily placate partners whilst a cockpit is being built elsewhere in the house  ;D

LMAO Jack!  First I must correct you and let you know it was my living room.  To get to my couch, I had to trip over 100+ wires, glue gun, soldering iron etc etc...  Trev was extremely lucky to use my living room for that and would be pushing it if it continued into my dining room  ::)

I think if Trev ever decided to build the cabin of a plane, I would have to move out.  I would still be married to him BUT we would have to be in our own place  :laugh: ::)

Well, on appointment, you could fancy the "Mile-high" performance, once Trev get the fuselage properly converted in a luxury, leather clad, "business" environment....

See Jack.. I don't think she looks at the whole picture...  Thats it exactly..  she is not the biggest fan of flying, so this way she could join the mile high club.. In a lap of luxury as you stated, and not even have to leave the ground.  (or the house for that matter)  :huh:

For that price, I want 'real events' simulations in the departure lounge (6 hour delay) and in flight....bird strikes, smoke, fire, depressurization, blown tires, engine flameouts, severe turbulence etc..etc... How else would your World Flight experience reflect the real 'joy of flying'?  ::)
