[simpits-tech] To Marv - Status and the I/ITSEC Show

[Ido Dekkers]

Hi marv thanks for the info,

Just one more - since DTsims is out - what is the pricing on the gouges and
is there anywhere on the web were they could be seen.

Thanks

Ido

Okay, here is the sticker shock.

   Quantity 12 pricing is approximately $2500.00 each.

Realistically, I am looking at some sort of lower end model for the sim
crowd.  It won’t use LVDTs, but probably some other technology like Hall
Effect and the stick movement will probably be a little more exaggerated
than the 0.150” the current base has to accept that type of sensor.  The
base will probably need to be a composite material rather than solid
aluminum.

      Great news that the stick base is so good.  Can you at least give us
      an idea of the price range +/- a couple hundred and a realistic idea
      as to when?   "We've already heard going to be expensive."  Not to
      ding ya, Marv, I'm really going to be happy with the base, but c'mon,
      you've had the sucker up to final spec for over six months now.  I'm
      getting close to construction on my (I swear) last cockpit attempt,
      and to be perfectly frank, with the possibility of this base, the pit
      is going to be built around it.  I'm trying to figure out my
      options....

            The side stick base was an absolute hit at the show last week.
            Lockheed and L3 were all over it.  Lockheed sent 6 real F-16
            pilots to test it out and all left with two thumbs up.  The bad
            news is pricing is going to be really expensive.  My cost is
            very high to make these.
