Don't they (or didn't they) make some 'guns' that use propane to make
the gun noise? Seem to recall that method of playing WWI Ace G

Talk to Confedrate Air Force (they changed their name I think) on what
they use on their 'Zero's in their Pearl Harbor airshow.

Went to Google and searched "simulated aircraft machine gun". On that
site I found at least one propane/Oxy firing machine gun
(http://members.tripod.com/ReplicaMDL/bigguns.htm. There may be
others?

The one I found (50 Cal) was pretty expensive but there may be other
cheaper ones on Internet if you spend some time looking.

Rots uve luck, boyson. (Well known Japanese expression G)

At night when I get home I sit in my Sonerai and make engine noises
ocasionally alternated by machine gun fire noises when I press the PTT
button. I think it would be really cool if I could find a device that will
make the machine gun fire noises while I'm doing a beat up of the club
house! I'd like the activation button for that on my stick! :-)

I do believe your hand should be on the grip.


That's a good start...:-))

"For me", I want the radio PTT, trim, and autopilot disconnect. There
are maybe some I've missed, but those three are my primary choices.

I plan on making the grip ambidextrous as it would be a bit more
convenient, although less comfortable. There are a number of "Game"
joy sticks that would be ideal for the right hand, but they are very
uncomfortable when used with the left.

The gaming industry got it backwards there...although a right hand one
for the right seat and left for the left seat would be the way to go.
