Welcome aboard, Simon. A fellow young'in, cool. I'm 22 myself, and have
been in a similar situation until recently............was doing the
college thing, now I'm out and just working, saving up $$$. :) As I
eluded to earlier, I have a new "obstacle" to my cockpit
ideas........R/C planes are eating up my spare cash. :D I'm still not
really in a position to start a full cockpit anyway (living with my mom
for now), but I would like to start experimenting with some ideas,
mostly on the electronics interfacing side of things, and also work on
some new control setups.

Hey, I remember Aces of the Pacific! Fun game. :)
