You can build one for a few K Michael.
Always wanted to learn how to fly; but, at a young age suffered a serious ear infection that ended up with total loss of hearing in my right ear; hence, made me ineligible for flying lessons. Later I took up building and flying powered radio controlled model airplanes - a most satisfying alternative. After 20 years into it, I built a soaring model which was much fun. Using a 6 volt car battery and car starter motor, I made a sail plane launcher for getting the bird up in the air; then, the thermals took over and kept me up there for a long time.

Could you add a couple of video cams to your models feeding directly into a head mounted display (Oculus Rift?). Now that really would be immerser flying :)

Im sorry if I should just have read more, but where was that? Was it several different places, or just different parts of the same area? The town I mean.

cyphyr, that is sweet! "(Oculus Rift?)" There are too many good reasons to want be wealthy.
