Ok folks, listen up. There's a 727 CPT in Minnesota that is going to gofor a song (maybe even free!).Check it out:http://www.simpits.org/~geneb/727cpt.htmlThis would make the ultimate "starter" for a home cockpit builder!It wouldn't take much to interface this monster to a PC.Keep it from being destroyed and ground up for scrap!g.

So whats the deal here know one nab it yet?

Do you think they would be willing to ship it to New Zealand? :^) Whats the 'rules' now for export of civil aviation equipment from the U.S. now?ZK-SHB

I talked to them and thier initial quote was 5,000.00 dollars and I have to pick it up! Still trying to work a deal with them.Rob

Still when you think that the workload of converting it to a sim is reduced somewhat... seems reasonable to me.Good LuckZK-SHB

See how much is functional and what is fake. I had an L1011 CPT and it would have been more work to change into a sim than the real thing. See my website www.geocities.com/raflyer/indexRob

True, my understanding is some of them can be very basic and do absolutely nothing, others manage to do blink a light or something when you pull a lever, push a button etc...Guess it depends on whom manufactured it.Just cruised over to your site, interesting idea to mix the types, sounds good tho although who's checklist has priority :^)ZK-SHB
