    Hello XSimulator Forums,

    I am currently designing a 6DOF motion platform using servo motors for my senior capstone project. I have seen many other builds on this site that utilize this design. Can anyone tell me the lengths for the upper and lower actuating arms that would be best for flight simulation? If you could provide any math as well, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Nate
