    Hi all

    Found this site during search for DOF simulator. Have one guy nearby with one of few operating full size Spitfire cockpits that operates with 2DOF. Tried this and got "bitten". Browsing the forum to absorb most of possible information. Working as a mechanic and got a shop at work that can be used on free time. So .....time will tell if I can realize this.

    Ciao,
    you are in the right forum to learn from the many users and shared tutorials.
    get an idea of what to do and how to make it and then throw it away! Try and experiment, it's the best way to learn.

    Good luck
