Nice vid! One of my good buddies up here in CT has been doing this for years, always trying to make it better and better. He actually built a virtual cockpit on a trailer platform from which I flew the airplane. The trailer had an external plug on it for a buddy-box, so if there was ever a problem, he just took back control. It worked out awsome, only difficult part on landing was depth perception. One second, you look high, next second, your right on the ground. You just had to keep your decent very shallow. He has always used larger trainers as platforms for the equipment, and it has worked out really well. I'd say he has been doing this for close to 10 years or so.
