You work in aerospace, and you get pigeon-holed. I've never been able to convince folks that it takes no more smarts to do what I do in a rocket test facility than it would to do it in a corn flake factory...

I think designing rockets pays more than designing corn flakes because it's easier to make something crunch than to keep something from crunching.

Whaddaya mean "glue" on the switches? I would expect you to be able to reach inside and start the airplane! The rest of the panel looks quite functional. FANTASTIC job!

The throttle moves in and out as you change engine power, yes?
Looking great. That panel is over the top.
BTW I tuned up the computer model of the yokes last week and I'll run them on the 3d printer this week. I'm happy to deliver them to KHAF 'cause i want to see this thing.
Have you ever known/heard of someone who delved into something so far/deep they became mentally-ill?
I think you've gone 'round the bend, Aryana!
(Fantastic project to follow.)
