    Hello everyone!!! Today I "finished" the assembly and started testing the head movement. The goal is to make the cockpit even more immersive. I have 2DOF movements plus loss of traction. I've never tried this feature before, so I can't say yet if it will be worthwhile. I'm using those bicycle cable housings, which allowed me to put the motor and drive mechanism under the seat. As I progress with the tests, I'll share updates here. I made a simple video so you can see how it's coming along. It still needs some organizing.
