I should probably have mentioned I am aware of the BGA's sim. Many thanks to those who have emailed me. For anyone who hasn't seen it:

Sent: Friday, January 25, 2008 5:49 PM Subject: [Aus-soaring] Future Gliding Simulator project Howdy Folks I am currently heading into my 4th year at uni and am looking at designing and building a transportable gliding simulator for training and promotional purposes. I understand that this is a fairly massive undertaking and also one that my uni does not really have the contacts to help me out with. I have also witnessed the enormous amount of knowldege and expertise provided by the people on this list and thought I would try and make use of it! :-) With this in mind, I am keen to hear from anyone who feels that thay may be able to offer advice, comments or leads that may be useful. More specifically I am keen on information about: - Previous/current projects. I believe Keepit's puchatec is being put to the task? - Old or unservicable glider fuses that may be avaliable. - Trailer manufacturers who are friendly towards glider pilots. I think I heard about someone who offset the cost of a trailer by covering it in sponsorship? Details would be great. - Any other relevant information. Please feel free to email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The sim is apromotion and training tool and will be avaliable for clubs for use as such. Rather that having it tucked in a shed somewhere, I want to see it at events such as air shows, with people queueing up to have a go! I cant think of a better recruitment tool! Thanks in advance.
