One of the knocks from the May show ( which is totally my fault) was
the cheezy joystick. So here we were with a full scale 747 glass

fidelity subsystem models (Mathworks), and a "noodle" for control.
If we had had a decent control system, we could have faked the rest ;-)
Come on Jack, when are you going to drive up to Mojave with your
hacksaw? I can get you past the fence, the rest is up to you. :-)
I hear you. There is also a boneyard at El Mirage which has some hulks
that go back to WWII. I understand the tv series LOST got some of the
props from that site. I ought to give Tom a call now that the daytime
temps up there have become bearable.
Just a question of time and energy. The design issue is how to keep it
portable so we can haul the gear around to shows like Scale4x coming up
in Feb 06. Same problem with putting everything into a shell, fantastic
for a fixed installation
but kind of like the old story of the fellow who builds the 30 foot
sailboat in his cellar....
