Hi all,
As a loyal member of the Fletcher FU-24 Fans page on Facebook I couldn't help but see a post containing a video of something very cool: a flight simulator built up using a Fletcher cockpit.
Brandon Reade ended up with the cockpit of Fletcher ZK-CKA after it was scrapped at Hamilton and proceeded to use it - including the original throttle quadrant, stick and flap lever - to create a turbine Fletcher or Cresco simulator. There's at least three different computers running this, the "view outside" is on three 42" TVs...madness. Amazing madness!
He has a blog about it here: crescoproject.wordpress.com/about/
This is too good not to share. I've thought about doing this with CBG many times, but here's someone who's actually gone and done it. Bravo.
