SOME WORDS ABOUT ME …
I am a flight sim enthusiast !
When I was young(er), I’ve been a private pilot and many years ago, my parents offered me a complete afternoon with a commercial pilot … in an A320 cockpit. At this time, I was already a big fan of FS5.1, but my joystick and my keyboard didn’t provide sky dreams as expected … That’s why I began to design my own cockpit.
As every cockpit builder, I spent a lot of money and hundreds of hours to build, experiment, fail and try one more time … I’m not an engineer, I’m not from any aeronautical industry and I have no knowledge in electronics. I’m only a self-taught person. That’s probably why the work is still and will always be in progress !
Progressively I bought a 3D printer (in 2013, better to forget how much I paid for it …), a CO2 laser, a plotter and more recently a resin printer and a CNC machine. I’m now quite satisfied with my little workshop (kitchen + living room + garage !), but I haven’t a lot of work to do now with the machines, that’s why I decided to create some gauges for people who start such a project.
My products are homemade, as you would do yourself at home. I don’t expect to earn money with them, they just help me to pay a part of the machines back. And if they can be helpful for anybody, then I’ll be happy !
In real life …
Well, I’ve had multiple experiences in my professional life. I began as an IT technician, then I worked a lot with children in summer camps and ski schools. Now I’m a French teacher in an elementary school. As a hobby, I improve my simulator and I try to develop new “LST” instruments !
I really like sharing experiments, talking about improvements, seeing that we sometimes have the same ideas, the same fails, the same successes …
So feel free to contact me, and if you come to France, you’ll be welcome onboard !
