Heres the sites wiki! It has everything you need to know in it! If you start looking through project threads you will start to get the idea of how they are built. Its not as hard as it looks!

It might help to buy a keyboard encoder like an ipac, a joystick, some buttons and build a control panel! you then spend a while figuring out the wiring and software side of things easier! Then you just need to build a cab to put it in!
