When I found out we would be relocating to the East Coast and that I would have to quit my job, I knew I had to do something to make a few dollars to help pay my way. The only thing I had of real value to sell was my 737 Flight Simulator!

I'm starting to miss it dearly! Oh well, I am have as good a time building watches!

 

Here are few pics of it and a short video...

Sold mine too. Miss flying around. both virtually and in the real Cessna.

What type of Cessna? I have time in a 182 and the new Cessna 162 Skycatcher (although I barely Fit!)

 

My simulator used PMDG's NGX 737. IT was amazing! It is licensed by Boeing and is about 99% accurate in the flight model. The startup procedure alone was a good 20 minutes by the book (checklist)! I was totally astounded on how automated everything is in the 737ng. I was so surprised about the Auto-Land feature, which a number of the 737ng's have! Just program all the airport info into the CPU (ILS frequency, runway number and length, current Altimeter, etc) and basically turn on both autopilots after capturing the glide slope and set the flaps and down to the runway she fly's! It even flares right at the aiming points on the runway!

 

OK, now I'm getting nostalgic... :(

It's amazing how so many people on here have other interests in common. I was involved in aircraft for about seventeen years, learned to fly in Cessna 152's at Dundee then bought a share in a Jodel when I got my licence. Really loved flying the old Jody, especially take off and landing with it being a tail dragger!

There must be a connection somewhere, I have some hours in a 172 skyhawk  &  PA38 Tomahawk,

 

not current at the moment  ( the cost !! )    :money:  and I miss it every day !  

 

my best was a DH82A Tiger Moth, no brakes , or flaps, open air , nothing like it !     :skydive:

That's my kind of aircraft.

The Jodel was an old wood and fabric French aircraft built in 1963 and had a Rolls Royce C90 fitted at the sharp end.

      Like losing Ranfft. That was a wake up call. We took his website for granted. Miss him terribly.

      Its 4 o'clock in the morning here in the Uk, i cant sleep, i dont sleep, not much ever really. My brain never shuts off to rest, I'm just a constant thinker, i have to be very tired to be able to sleep,  i guess eventually it will be my undoing and my health will suffer because of it I'm sure. But while I'm here i want to get as much out of life as i can, and give as much as i can, to help,maybe to make a difference to someone's life if that is within my capability,recent events have made that need even more clear to me. I'm not sure where I'm going with this or why i bring it up , or if its relevant to want i want to talk about its just in my head right now. What i do want to talk about is something thats been on my mind for ages. I like to be prepared,  I'm not fond of surprises because surprises take control away and i am a bit of a control freak at times. This forum, Our Forum if i can call it that, is here because of two reasons. The guy that created it and keeps it funded and the people that joined it.  Without either, it would not exist, and lets face it one day it won't ( I'm a realist and i talk about things others dont or who are afraid to in other words folk that dont particularly prepare for the inevitable). How many of us visit here regularly ?  How many among us almost depend on the forum as a way of socialising because they are stuck at home and how many of us has it become part of a daily routine to check in and see if they can offer advice or get help with something they are working on or just to have a chat and engage in some banter. The members here are in the thousands and thousands have disappeared over the years many had just a fleeting visit. But there are a good few of us that know each other quite well and visit regularly. I dont know about you but i wouldnt want to lose that communication with you all, in all honesty it has become an important part of that side of my life and helps to feed my passion for all things watches. Some of you may think differently and thats ok, some of may stop and think # what would i do " Without Our Forum " #

      Naptha appears to be a general name and its content can be varied depending upon what it's specific use is. Lighter fluid as an example can be light or heavier also with other ingredients to help it burn. Try sesrching for benzine ( as opposed to benzene which is linked to causing health issues ) . There are other fluids such as ethanol that you could try and also methylated sprirts, mostly ethanol with a small percentage of methanol added. Experiment with any new chemical to see how quickly schellac dissolves in its presence. I have tried a few things but hexane is not one of them, i understand it does evaporate very quickly.  Be sure sure to check out any safety data on chemicals you try. Toxicity of fumes and flash point information, ultrasonic machines can heat up fluids even without a heater function. And of course always ask here for personal opinions when trying a new substance.

      What tools does ebay have to offer this week.

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      I have that set and really like it. I prefer that crystal holder over the one that came with my Bergeon claw tool and any time I use the claw I use this one instead of the Bergeon one, just an additional bonus with this tool.

      Is the Roamer not a split stem? I'm confused on your how your case is put together. If it is a front loader where is it you are putting the case screws? I love me some Roamer, do you have any photos?
