That's a nice looking yoke.

I figure if I'm going to spend the time to work out the issues with that 
Embraer "sort-of-scale" cockpit, I should investigate the right yoke.

It gives me an excuse to finally try out a program called Cut3D that I 
bought with my ShopBot.  I figure I could make a material blank out of a 
few laminated layers of 3/4" baltic birch plywood like I did for the F-15 
SFS box.  Should prove interesting.

Got another project ahead of it though - should be done Saturday.

There's a guy that runs a site called Splash One Bandit that is making hat 
& castle switches for an insanely great price.  The address is 
http://www.splash-one-bandit.com/index.html.

I may buy some of them for the rams horn yoke test...
