  • good idea but isnt it kinda loud?

  • Unknown. Never tried it in the finished prototype.

  • first!

    But where will be the throttle? isn't the trim controller in it's place?

  • The throttle will sit on top of the trim weights.

  • aren't they in back?

  • Well, try not to worry too much about stuff like this. Remember, MAACS changes many, many times during its development.

  • cannibalized screwdriver......lol.....but nice idea to electirc move the weigh front and back

  • Matt, your videos are totally awesome.

    Invaluable information. Thanks for sharing it.

  • thank you so much for sharing. by the way i thought ur simple home cocpit was amazing thank you for being ingenious!

  • much better than previous video (I'm going in order) but how can you handle trimming your position in the chair compared to the actual simulator plane? I.e., if nose goes up, my left hand goes automaticall to trim up to keep the pressure neutral at the joke, for comfort; so this means I must trim the simulator, and the seat structure? I can't visualize it. Let's see next video.

  • Brilliant trim idea!

  • Matt, It think it''s incredible that you shared this with everyone. Doubtful many people will actually take it to build their own but it's nice to have ideas if they wanted to for their own use...The entire experimentation process of this is thrilling for me and I even learned more about what Trimming an aircraft was really about..Thanks again

  • Awesome!
