Looks pretty darn good, and not too bad a starting price
(FYI 49.99 vs 50.00 would've saved you a buck or too)

How much does it weigh? Dimensions (LxWxH). I might be able to squuze something like that into a corner of my apartment (not using the free weights anyhow)

What is that grey thing where the monitor goes? I'm guessing it doesn't include a monitor ???

That's the least comfortable looking cockpit cabinet I've ever seen. The seat is a non-adjustable block of wood, and you have the pedal cavity set up so that most people who could comfortably put their hands on the wheel would have to jam their kneecaps up against the bottom of the control panel to fit in there. I assume you're selling it because it was a failed prototype.... You should go look at some more real cockpit cabs.

No worries though, I'm sure someone will buy it.

Hee hee. Looks like he actually built one of those cabinets that he made $45 plans for.

I recommend you scrap those plans and go measure a Turbo or Pole Position cockpit and make plans off that instead. Basically yours is not deep enough.
