Thanks, Rocketeer. With all the good ideas i've seen for making simpits for warbird flight sims; many of the mechanical movements for controls and even panels can be approximated relatively easily with some inventive woodwork and re-purposing mechanical bits and bobs. The parts that could really help with a sense of "immersion" would be more realistic looking controls you actually put your hands on....hence my question about the KG13 castings.
There are some nice fellas in Germany making an amazing KG12 (13?) replica but it is cost prohibitive for me at the moment. It would be great to find someone that could do just a blank casting of controls like the KG13 or trim wheels/knobs and let the DIY pit builders drill them for switches, wires, axes mounts, etc.
Again, thanks
Derek
