Flight 737, Now Departing From Your Garage

NYT’s Circuits Section highlights the builders of full-size flight sims and the hazards they face in Flight 737, Now Departing From Your Garage: “The hobby presents physical hazards as well. This month Mr. Ford escaped serious injury when the massive professional viewing system he was installing in front of his cockpit toppled over. Alan Dyer, a computer consultant in Northern California, was less fortunate. A 130-pound chunk of bulkhead fell from his sawed-off 737 fuselage and knocked him unconscious. Mr. Dyer was found lying in a pool of blood and remained in a coma for a month.”
