Hi All,
I've finally managed to visit the National Soaring Museum at Harris Hill
(www.soaringmuseum.org). One of the highlights for me was finally seeing a
Minimoa in real life - shame its not flying, but its still a beautiful aircraft.
Turns out that they have a modified Flightgear system there, but unfortunately
it wasn't working while I was there - in fact it looks like it may not have
been working for a while, as all the cables were disconnected. The system was
used to simulate a Schweizer 1-26 using the original aircraft controls. I have
pictures of the system. I'll put these up on a web site hopefully when I get
back to the UK sometime in early September.
Oh, and after about 8 or 9 years I finally got to up in a glider - an ASK-21.
Felt very rusty, but it was nice to up in a real aircraft again :-)
Best Regards,
Paul
