<DIV></DIV>>I think I saw that on the news about a year ago of that device in "the big
<DIV></DIV>>boy's toys exhibtiion" in Sydney.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>It was used in a F1 car simulator.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I was very impressed...however, didnt know what it was and where to find out
<DIV></DIV>>more info. would be nice to have some motion in a F16 pit..but with 300lbs "
<DIV></DIV>>take off limit " what does that compute to Kilogram?
