    Hi all,

    I am interested in creating a 6 dof platform with size to accommodate 2 seats for MSFS 2020 simulator cockpit.

    The main issue I am having is how to source parts easily for 2024 and in the US. Is there a person or guide someone can point me to in order to find servos and gear for a more "kit" approach to arm gears (is that a phrase) and not linear actuators with screws. OR if someone knows a 2 seat 6 dof with linear actuators if you could be so kind as to help me or just point me in the right direction I would be grateful.

    Thank you

    Motion platform, 6DOF
    I built a 2 seater with a 1966 Cessna 172 crashed cockpit. I made my own actuators with AC servos and Thanos Controller. works very well.
