    Hi
    in the past time I built a sim 3dof with support of this forum and it works very well.
    Now I saw on you tube a sim with a couple of full rotations in x and y direction. This is what
    I would like to realise as well. To built a cage with a seat inside and two bearing axis should
    not be the problem I guess. The problems I see is, I don't know whitch Motors are usable.
    Further is the connection through the bearings not simple. I assume it is necessary to use
    slip rings for the electrical connetction to penetrate the bearings. But where could I get
    such equipment
    Is anyone here who could help me in this case? That would be great.

    Many thanks for help

    best Regards Chris
