[simpits-tech] About F16 angle console....

[Chris]

I went to the FTP site myself, and other members sites. I also bought an
ERTL 1/12 model. Between these 3 sources I was able to get most of the
information I needed to begin building. The biggest challenge was the WL and
FS locations of the rudder floor. I did this graphically with drawings from
the group and scans of the instructions from the ERTL model.  If anyone
would like to know what I discovered I can let you know. I am not sure now
whether to share this via this newsgroup, since Hi Rev might find out and
try to make money on it.

What is the group consensus on that position? Are we supposed to keep our
discoveries to ourselves and indirectly make it difficult for fellow
builders in order to spite a company called hi rev? I am new here and don't
want to offend anyone.

By the way, the ERTL model was a very big help.

Chris:

The Simpits FTP site contains a great deal of information including cockpit
drawings of various aircraft. Gene has placed a great deal of effort in this
FTP site for the benefit of all members of the Simpits Community. The
uploading of images/files such as are being discussed to the FTP site would
perhaps be the best place to make it available to all members of the group.
Their is a caveat, we cannot say that the company being discussed cannot
ever get access to this information. If they are interested in obtaining
this information their are other means of obtaining it. The Simpits Group is
only a very small one, in a sea of others. If you can get this information
others may as well.

To the person who first requested this information, if you have not done so
please check the FTP site to see if this information is already available. A
request such as this may have already been answered, I seem to remember a
previous discussion on a similar topic.  New members to the Simpits
community or those unfamiliar to the FTP site please take the time to
familiarize yourself with this valuable resource.

I await the FAQ that has been mentioned to become available, and for some
person to come forward to take over the maintenance of the web site. Any
takers?

The Simpits Community is not here to bash any company but we have always had
a keen interest in any rumor that affects our avocation or vocation.Please
take it that way, just the same there does seem to be a story in there
someplace that I for one would love to hear.

Chris, as you have no doubt learned by now not all traffic within the group
is on-topic, there is a fair amount of kidding that takes place, some
jealousy and envy as well. Some of the membership I am still in awe of after
all this time. There has been rumor that Bert Betran has looked in upon the
group as well as the major league players in the aviation industry,
commercial and general aviation and high performance aircraft as well. The
software manufactures are interested in the group some of the membership has
beta tested software's and other have created ad on's to existing
software's.

Membership in this group is much like any community their are folks who are
less than honest and would steal from the group and not contribute but the
good ones make up for this.Prior to being a member into this group you
contributed to the group now as a member we welcome your contributions and
your own brand of humor to keep us amused.

Keep 'em Flying
