Cool new stuff

A locally produced TV show is in the process of getting rid of all of their stuff now that the show has ended, so Aaron and I went down there today, and acquired a whole bunch of great stuff.

This is all going to be used in the completion of our cockpit. Things are really shaping up nicely!

Anyone know where we could get a couple of airplane yokes? :)

Yoke

Thanks for the offer, but we're looking for proper yokes, and not joysticks - those we can find in abundance!

I did better on ebay.com than ebay.ca btw. Good luck!

Out of curiosity, have you tried any aircraft salvage places? I'd suggest finding a used Saitek X-51 joystick but I see you want to avoid those. I know there's an aircraft salvage yard near me, I can check if you guys are still hunting a yoke...

Salvage yard

We actually tried to go to an airplane salvage yard, and were lead to believe there was one in the town of Delta, just outside of Vancouver. Damien and I drove out there, only to find it magically turned into a blueberry stand, run by a Sikh gentleman in the middle of a huge, empty field.

As near as we can tell, there is not an aplane salvage yard anywhere near Vancouver...so, out of curiosity, where do you live?

Flight Yokes...

I live in Farr West, Utah, North of Salt Lake City... let me ask around, I have a friend who works at Hill Air Force Base nearby, maybe he can grab something from DRMO.

simulators = gooood....

If you want some heads-up on the design of control columns, check most simulator building sites. A lot of 737/737NG builders have built some really good replicas of flight yokes, and those 737 yokes just happen to have been used on another somewhat familiar ship, alongside with the throttle quadrants (both 727 and 737, 727 on Inara's shuttle, 737 in Kaylee's engine room)...

For details, check:

The yoke used in the Serenity film was a custom job. If you get the drawings of some Boeing yokes you're in the green...

And if you need some imagery or software to fill up those pretty CRT screens, drop me a line. ;-)

What show?

Just curious: What's the show that ended, that you got the stuff from?
