    Unfortunately, I haven't finished the frame yet for the pedals and FFB wheel. I have been waiting to finish the rest of the frame before I get Simtools. Once I get that and run it, I'll know if the motor drivers will be able to output enough current relaibly for the weight when it's running. If not, I'll have to add some gas struts to offset the weight the motors have to move.

    It's tough for me to get time lately to work on this between my job and two young children but I'm slowly chipping away at it when I can. The attached picture is where I'm at right now. The tube steel where the pedals go will be shorter of course, just have to figure that out when they're mounted. 20260204_114528.jpg
