Greetings from Eugene Oregon

[mikesblack]

Hello All,

Great to be a part of this Sim community. Love this hobby and can't wait to actually get the Sim "flying".  This hobby sort of reacquaints me with my former career as an airline pilot. I flew 2 years out of Dublin with Aer Lingus on the SD 360 and finally Portland Oregon for Horizon in the Metro 3. Got married and decided to quit 15 years ago. Subsequently started a running store in Eugene and started building furniture from my home.

  I'm currently building a 767 cockpit in my bedroom. Images up in the gallery. Learning quite a bit and I'm especially impressed by the work I've seen here and on other forums.

Guess my strengths are woodwork and general building and my less strong is programing. I have to figure out how to connect all these gauges, controls and switches I've been buying on EBay. I'm a "plug and play" guy and so have quite a load to learn.  Can't wait for my 757 Ace Yoke for which I have been waiting and waiting.  Looks like they do great work, so worth the wait I hope.

Anyway, look forward to conversing and exchanging ideas with you all.

All the best,
Mike

Welcome Mike!
  Nice looking project you have going there! Wood working skills always come in handy I think once you  dig a little into the software/hardware integration you'll see its not too bad.  Also plenty of wise people here to help you out along the way.. feel free to ask away
