24 Sept., 2008 -- Flight Simulator - Eureka, it works!



Flying stuff!!!!

Extracted the flight simulator from the EAA hangar at Willow Springs, installed the "new" Dell computer, fired-er-up, and of course, Ben had to be the test pilot!
Eureka, it works! Friday, we take it to a home-school bunch of kids and let them get a taste of the "real thing".

This is a Thorpedo. Originally, the Thorp was the forerunner of the Piper Cherokee. This is the new model with a Jabiru engine. Flies with the canopy open or closed. Nice.

Ben's going to have insulation blown into his hangar, so the Sport goes into his neighbor John's hangar for a few days.
