I finally did it.

I just couldn't resist. My wife is absolutely going to kill me because I have no place to comfortably put this thing, but I have always bought into the philosophy that it is better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

It'll be a few weeks before it gets here, but I'll be sure to provide updates, thoughts, impressions, etc.

Negative, but assembly seems fairly straight forward.

That is most certainly the plan.

'Fairly straight forward'

Post an AAR of the assembly!

No, seriously. It looks so simple that a caveman could do it.

I will thoroughly enjoy watching you build it after assembling countless things here at my house and screaming into the ether how they were less than straightforward. It looks...advanced.

I'm not your average Jew.

Me neither!

Godspeed.

"But honey, it says on the website this is a motion simulator platform FOR BUSINESS! It's right there in the url, first thing, see?!"

That gif only shows yaw and roll, is it going to have pitch axis too?

Yup. Yaw, roll and pitch. 3DOF. I may upgrade to 6DOF some day, but I just don't have the space for it. That has a bit of a bigger footprint.
