[simpits-tech] Need a plan

Hmm, my plan might have just gotten a bit easier :) I may have gotten myself 
employed as a CNC waterjet operator and the plant manager is a former USMC 
aviation crewman (not sure what he did, but it was on the ground). While 
learning how to use the machine I'm going to have to cut some parts, 
naturally, so I think I'll have to make something that just happens to look 
like the left main panel and radio stack from a generic GA single. They also 
have bigger lathes and mills than mine which will make building the yoke and 
pedals a piece of cake. Unfortunately they aren't CNC, but that's life. The 
waterjet can cut more FEET (not inches) of aluminum than the mill can hold 
anyway :)

And if I wind up as the 3rd shift manager, which is also a possibility, I'm 
going to have to see if I can accidently make all the parts for a homebuilt. 
I wanna see how fast I can go on 100 horsepower.

He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.
