Flim Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Working on a Run of 5 kits, 1 spot open... please PM if you want in this round. UMC V2 is a kit based on the Aces II ejection seat and the steel mounts for placement if your Warthog/Hotas controls stick. The Mounts are fully adjustable and are fabricated from .065 steel. The plates are water jet cut and have warthog mounting holes for direct bolt on placement. The seat kit is un-built and not painted. You will be required to build and buy hardware to complete the seat. The stick mounts are welded and ready for powder coating. I was having the parts powder coated , but the business I used was hit by a tornado. So the steel parts will come with no coating, but a person can find cheap powder coating services locally. Included in Base Kit: ACES SEAT KIT with Molded Seat Back Steel Mounts- 2 main side mounts, Throttle Mount, Stick Mount( center or side )Note: need to know your stick setup so I can build the correct mount. BASE PRICE IS: $549 Custom High Quality Aces Seat Cushions- built from high grade marine water proof material, and designed for long flights in your pit. $179 Extra's: Mouse mount, Keyboard mount, and Aft Ergotron mounts for a 3 touchscreen setup. Please PM for more information. FLIM Edited June 10, 2011 by Flim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaman Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hey keep an eye on ebay for a parachute container.. Your seat looks good. Thanks man. I have lost some paintjob because of these stickers, and also while trying to get map glued above my head.. Stickers from cockpits.nl that FLIM suplies are very nicely made, but once you glue them on, if you try to move them, it will rip your paint, arrr. I had to reapply the yellow caution one on same place with extra glue in between. Concerning these parachute containers on US Ebay... Aren't they export-controlled? I am from Poland, I do not think I will be able to purchase decommissioned part of military aircraft and have it shipped here, even if it was scrapped. Unless these are not banned from export. I was already trying to look for it in other countries who fly F-16s, and I know who to ask, and they said - no. I guess best thing to do is to find a replica or old scrapped one somewhere near :< 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLaFaille Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Quick questions seeing as your marketing this towards A-10 folk and have the ejection handles on the sides, you ever going to change the seat back angle to 15 degrees like it should be?

Shaman Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Quick questions seeing as your marketing this towards A-10 folk and have the ejection handles on the sides, you ever going to change the seat back angle to 15 degrees like it should be? K You should not be concerned by this, since seat back angle is not locked by UMCv2 design (whether you choose A-10 parts or F-16 parts), UMCv2 backrest angle is fully customizable by user, even after assembly. I have tried myself 15deg and it would make sense, if I had to stick my head out and look to the sides of RL cockpit and peek down on the ground below. However angling it totally to the back gives better ergonomy for my back and arms. You will try both settings yourself and decide what suits your ergonomy.

JECAF9 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 It's tempting but I better not. Wondering though, are the ejection handles linked to the computer so you could pull the handles for the ejection in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it could be linked to a bodnar bord as a simple switch of some kind?

ryyy Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I've been trying to get Jedi's kit built by a local CNC place but damn, they are really haggling and lagging on communication.

Shaman Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I have this seat and working on making the handles function along with the arm switch. Please PM me what is your solution. I have been trying to come up with someone but I do not have a degree in engineering. Have you selected what parts you need to purchase, some micro-switches maybe? How will it work? 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering though, are the ejection handles linked to the computer so you could pull the handles for the ejection in game. That is the plan, and already doing guess-work how to accomplish this. I do not want handles to move, but rather have microswitches or pressure switches inside loops, so if you grab any of them, you will send DirectX-button signal via USB controller. I suppose need help from some uber-Geeks around here to choose the right parts. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulsA-10 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I may use strong magnets to hold the handles and arm switch down, then use magnetic switches for the circuits. Important still building the seat so it won't be long until i get to work on the electronics. " I'm gonna have to be taking your car today.

hog_driver111th Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Just make sure you make the handle supports strong enough, or you may rip the handle off trying to eject in a scary situation.

6Gun Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Will you be making another kit around this may, june, or july? I live in Virginia what would the total cost of this be? Would there be some sort of instructions on assembly? Please let me know i'm very interested in getting one of these this coming summer. This winter i'm building a new pit from aluminum and plexiglass. This will be the final touch it will need.
