<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

end model for 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

<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 face=Verdana><BR></FONT><FONT

My cost is very high to make these.<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><FONT
