This home cockpit is currently listed on Trademe. Someones been busy.

Haven't recovered from Christmas and need to spend some more cash. This could be just the thing.

That is impressive, and for $2500 quite a bargain given it comes with a computer, all those monitors and its a motion simulator....in fact, that price is crazy!

Buy it give the CAA a call, get them to assess it, and you'll probably be able to credit 50% of time in it toward an instrument rating............ (i mean its practically the flight experience but with motion...... albeit in a baron 58) :clap: :clap: :clap:

wonder if it comes with the teddy bear in the last picture? :unsure:

It seems like a nice buy for a real enthusiast, but its not really my dream of spending $2500 B) (I want a RC Gas powered plane with a camera on it, and a tv screen on the ground, and a long range remote :lol: )
