[simpits-tech] RE: Spare Change being saved

[Joseph Fagner]

That's it, I'm jumping.  I am tired of drooling over my keyboard at the
web site every day.  I don't care they cost as much as a house payment.
I'll be gone for a while as I try to explain to my wife why I "need"
$1300 rudder pedals.

This one's for the F-16 builders.  

If you've broken down and gone to the edge, and now have a HOTAS 
Cougar to integrate into your cockpit, this is how you finish the job 
and jump off the cliff:

Folks that have seen these via Frugalsworld are already aware - the 
delivered cost is well beyond what most folks would pay for something 
like this - something like 4-5x the bank account hit of a Cougar.  
But look at the freakin' detail!!!  They look like they were yanked 
right out of a brand new Viper.  S'cuse me - delicately extracted. :) 
 And all ready to bolt to the deck of your F-16 pit and plug into the 
Coug (and almost ready to the pedal adjustment handle on your center 
console!!)

 We followers of the immortal Electric Jet can't go out and get 
goodies like the whole front end of a DC-8, (Hi, Justin!) or an F-15 
(Hi, Gene!) or even the office deck of a 747 (Hi, Steve!), but then 
again, it seems like the possibilites for growing your own insanely 
authentic F-16 cockpit are getting better all the time.  And SuperPak 
4 is on the horizon, now that the F4UT has had the summer to 
recooperate from SP3.  Can it get any better for the pointy nose 
drivers?!!?
