Oh - that'll be great! If you consider what other simulation rudder pedal
sets do cost!!

Once they are available, you will sell at least a bunch to me :)))
And as I am building a two-seater pit... :P

Do you want to share these thoughts already?? :)))

Yippie! So you make it possible???

Speachless! This means I don't have to check eBay every hour for interesting
items, as you will build them all! Thus I can focus on earning money to buy
these goodies!
Do you have a rough idea of what price region the more complex instruments,
like HSI and ADI will be located in?

Oh, but will it still be possible to wire my original stick(s)??? I hope it
so much.

Well - this mail made my day be a holiday... outside the States ;))
