Project Mustang on a 3dof base begins

[727737Nut]

Well I am still alive, been a crazy summer to say the least!  After some serious thought, prayer, and talking to my son and wife. I parted out my original working GAT1 motion sim down to the motion base and frame. I then ordered the shell plans from Ron Rollo, great guy to deal with! After a couple of full days of cutting and sanding with my 2 kids, this is what I have now as seen in the picture below.  L45-17 is born.   I will be adding a window post on each side and properly size/shape rear side window to match the Cessna Mustang Jet.  I will be using Flight1 Mustang, Emutech G1000's, Ruscool panels, Pokeys55E, and FSX for now. Display will be 3 flat screen led tv's.
We are excited to be doing this project as a family and really look forward to seeing it come together.  It will be a working motion based sim, and match the Cessna Jet closely in form, function, and feel.

Stay tuned!
