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.

I want one! I have the aircraft and some controls, but the idea of wiring them up to 3+ PCs - and the associated cost - scares the cr*p out of me!!

Probably a lot cheaper than a COA for CBG or a 400hp engine rebuild.

Not looking to fly it - I've never said I am
