I was wondering if there were any life support techs out there that could suggest a source for ACES II parts? I am building an F-16E Block 60 simulator (as a personal project/personal use) and have started building the ACES II Replica seat. I am looking for all of the following to bolt onto the frame:
Seat Cushions (bottom/back)
Parachute Container
Ejection Handles (Front/Right)
Lap Belt
Parachute Risers
Oxy Bottle
Survival Kit straps (attachs to pilot's harness)
Inertia Reel Lever
My current state of my project can be found here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=147&t=858274
Thanks for any pointers! I can either be contacted on here, or via email to john.steensen@hotmail.com, john.steensen@us.army.mil, OR via MSN Messenger at john.steensen@us.army.mil. |

| I know you are trying to recreate the real thing, but if you have ever been in a real simulator, they dont have lap belts, survival kits straps, or parachute risers. The seat cushion is recommeded, that seat gets hard even in the real aircraft after just 1 hour. |

Never been in the real thing, but definitely would like to get the wow factor too - eventually I would like to show this simulator in the future. (Local airshows or whatnot.) I did however post in the wrong priority order of parts:
Seat Cushions (bottom/back)
Parachute Container
Ejection Handles (Front/Right)
Oxy Bottle
Data Recorder box (empty inside)
Lap Belt
Parachute Risers
Survival Kit straps
Inertia Reel Lever |

Seat Cushions - google "oregon aero" they manufacture seat cushions for all sorts of fighter jets including all USAF fighters...... however, a recent change to tech data prohibits the use of these pads in USAF jets..... so you might could get a discount on them because they are pricey!
The cushions are the only thing I know of that you can get through open market..... the easiest way to get all this stuff is to check ebay frequently or become really good friends with someone in Aircrew Egress Systems Career Field....... it might cost you alot of beer LOL!!! |

| Your oxygen bottle is too small. Block 60's are OBOGS equipped and have the larger EOS bottle. |
