I've followed this guy for some time - he recently sold this***pit on
Viperpits, and the company that made the kit has gone on hiatus...which
is a shame, because I was thinking of buying their ACES II...

Yes - got those all bookmarked, and have the panels set and about 60% of
the required toggle switches in hand already! Plus a HOTAS Cougar and
Warthog, and MFD bezels.
Getting ready to place the order for my center/instrument panel items,
and have full sized sets of plans for my***pit tub and ACES II. I'm
considering building my ACES II out of aluminum - it may actually be easier.
