[simpits-tech] Falcon 4.0 with motion sim

[Volker Metzger]

Hi Rob,
i believe the rock n ride construction can take a weight over 300 pounds, the trick is to balance the project, i have a weight around 200 pounds, no problem for the rock ( he can lift  all my panels too) , if the facing from he project is well balanced there is no real weight limit
i hope i can do a good facing or my profect in the future
