[simpits-tech] New Guy here! and 747 sim

[Jonas Frazier]

I'm building a model of the simulator in 1/72 scale to see what problembs 
there are. This is my other hobby,  model building,  so I'm pretty handy. I 
have pictures for the Cathay Pacific 747's which is the airline I'm hopping 
to fly for. I just need over all dimentions with angles for the pedestal,  
and overhead panel. I'm going to Metro for my aviation school. They have a 
DC-10 sim,  so I can send some pics,  and dimentions for those wanting to 
build one. Thanks all.
