Tom Mihelich - Troy - Michigan - USA
My name is Tom Mihelich from Troy Michigan USA and I would like to show you a few pictures of my new SF260 simulator. I have always been into the FS2004 sim and when I came across the SIMKIT web site... Well let's just say I had to try to make a sim of my favorite plane. My shipments of parts have started to arrive and I will soon post some pictures with gauges going in. I really like the Garmin 530 that fits perfect on my 7" monitor that I installed in the panel. I used Catia software to design the sim and constructed it from .75mm plywood cut into frames and covered it with .040" galvanized metal flashing which is used for roofing. I then used 3mm aluminum pop rivets to fasten them to the frames. It really worked great. I also used the Catia to create the flat pattern for the windshield (1/16" Lexan) and it formed over the frames perfect. I will keep sending in pic's as I progress.
