<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hehe, shocked right out of my project. Gawd,
I asked for it! But now you're talking about another development thread
using different technology and materials. Okay, thanks, I needed to know,
and I guess it's not in my picture, no matter which way you go. I can do
Hall effect too, I was just hoping for proven force sensitive technology.
Sounds like your real customer is the USAF. Bummer. I hate to
say it, but you can take me off your list. Sorry, dude.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=Verdana>Okay, here is the sticker
shock.<BR><BR> Quantity 12 pricing is approximately $2500.00

the sim crowd. It won’t use LVDTs, but probably some other technology
like Hall Effect and the stick movement will probably be a little more
exaggerated than the 0.150” the current base has to accept that type of
sensor. The base will probably need to be a composite material rather
than solid aluminum.<BR><BR>Marv<BR><BR><BR>On 12/15/03 6:12 PM, "Steve

<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Great news that the stick base is
so good. Can you at least give us an idea of the price range +/- a
couple hundred and a realistic idea as to when? "We've already
heard going to be expensive." Not to ding ya, Marv, I'm really going
to be happy with the base, but c'mon, you've had the sucker up to final spec
for over six months now. I'm getting close to construction on my (I
swear) last cockpit attempt, and to be perfectly frank, with the possibility
of this base, the pit is going to be built around it. I'm trying to
figure out my options....<BR></FONT></FONT><FONT

absolute hit at the show last week. Lockheed and L3 were all over
it. Lockheed sent 6 real F-16 pilots to test it out and all left
with two thumbs up. The bad news is pricing is going to be really
expensive. My cost is very high to make
these.<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><FONT face=Verdana><BR>
