> I used the instructions from Wally's page to build a wheel-pedal
> combo. It was very informative and pretty easy to do if you stick with
> the project. Wally helped me out a great deal.  I would be willing to
> help also.
> The wheel-pedal combo adds alot of realism and better performance than
> a stick or keyboard. My speeds improved quite a bit.
