people, hiI thought I'd make contact here before going too much further.I'm in the early planning stages of making a single seater cockpit. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time and now a change in personal circumstances has freed a lot of time for me. I know roughly what I can have space wise (2.3m long 1m wide) and I know what I can fit into that space. So I'm thinking I would like a stick flown GA aingle seater, the more complex to fly the better. I'm looking to build the inside of the cockpit realisticaly within the confines of space.Does anyone have any ideas of a suitabe craft?.Also I've lost a link I had to a site with hydraulics made from syringes, does anyone know the site, an exhaustive search has drawn a blank. I know of the site metioned on the board but I know there was another?Thanks for reading.Bill.

you meant this one?http://www.dutch-mountains.comRegardsNorbert

Hi, Difficult one to think of, most single seat GA aircraft are fairly simple by their very nature. What about a tandem cockpit but just do the front? Or even a military prop trainer front cockpit only. Beech T34, Tucano or one of many warbirds. They all have sticks and would fit your size restrictions. Other thoughts,maybe a Chipmunk,Cub or if you want modern a Rutan machine. All the best with your project, Dean

That's what I have, and it fits in 70cm wide, 1.5m long space. And it works great - though it is currently under construction.Some GA suggestions for flight models / planes:You said "the more complex the better" - the Dreamfleet Cessna 310 is probably what you should check out. It comes with good checklists, pilots handbook and performance and weight & balance charts etc.. - and it is a handful to fly: two turbocharged pistons - you need to work the props, mixtures, manifold pressures etc, it is fast and slick, yet all manual. Meaning pretty much everything can be interfaced with a home cockpit. That's my choice, the flight model is excellent and it is just all-round good.Another one, if you want a single, is the Dreamfleet Archer. You cannot get a better PA-28 for the simulator I would bet.The Cardinal from Dreamfleet is good too.There probably are others too, but these I know, and can truly recommend, those are excellent add-on planes. No FMC included :)//Tuomas
