Mike Sherick's Simulator

[FredK]

A few of us were at Mike's place this past weekend to experience his full-motion 737.

As reported here previously Mike has done an outstanding job with the engineering of his motion platform. The realism is absolutely incredible! Scot W. and I did a flight where we had to deal with a 110 mph crosswind most of the way. We alerted Mike since we were concerned that the jostling turbulence would damage the motion structure. Mike said not to worry since there were safety limits in place that would shut down the motion.

Mike has also completed the rear part of his cockpit.  He has real circuit breaker panels installed now, along with OEM jump seats and cabin door. All is fitted out according to the real 737.

Again...really a superb achievement!

I will leave it to Mike to post pics.
