Haha, looks a bit of fun for $70

$70 for that?? "He must be dreaming" (as they say in "The Castle") ... laugh.gif

"This is a accurate Left seat simulator" ... ahem ... I think Trademe needs to jump in on this one! I've seen better at the kindy!

what does it simulate exactly? Id try simulate an engine fire with it by cutting it into small pieces and putting it in a box with some coal, that seems a good use for it.

This one is developed for realistic cockpit fires , the artwork deserves it , bloody horrid , I would like to no who even doubled the price on this one - I could build and sell table top panels but in today,s world ,everyone expects a lot more .

lol. Really got me wondering about the level of training going on out there if an instructor has to cobble up that kind of junk for s student to tell what the cockpit looks like!

Have hesitated 'til now but my initial reaction to the thread title, without reading the details, was on an entirely different tangent. smile.gif.
