    Ok I was thinking of building a racing sim, and I would like to build a fiberglass F1 body with a triple monitor display.
    I weight about 170lbs would this all be too much stress on the acuators?

    Thanks

    Yes and no...

    I will work, but it will greatly depend on a proper CG positioning.
    Try to use an not attached projector screen instead of the 3 head.
    How heavy is the fiberglass body?
    Can you sell me a copy? ;-)

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the replies everyone.
    In relation to the body it will actually be pretty light,I will use a combanation of 2 part foam and fiberglass, I will just be building the front end.
    But before I even begin I have to replace the roof of the shed and the weather here is not good, -11 a few weeks ago. :)
