Volker,
Your english is fine. Understand you perfect. I was just abit disappointed
when I clicked on the pricing section and read, please call for price..
If you rise your motion pit to about 10 fit off the ground and have a ladder
to climb up there...then u can enhance the immersion of a fighter pilot
climbing into the pit :)
I just went and seat in my half finished viper pit for a good 15 minutes
contemplating about that motion chair. Will need to look into it more :)
thanks for enlightening me.
I can sleep better tonight.
Albert

Hi Albert,
im glad you like my work,
yes, i need a small ladder to get into my pit, but that is funny. ok, the
maximum weight load on the seat is around 150 kg. the maximum load of the
monitor is 25 kg, that is the balance i am talking about, the donīt loose
the structure if the monitor have more kilos but the rock doesnt work, (dont
go up) so my english is not so good take a look at the rocknride.net for the
specs in better english.
