7th Sanctum looks interesting, thanks.

I have to tell a story about a great story teller, Rod Serling of "Twilight Zone" fame (going from memory here). A friend tells of a visit to Mr. Serling, when the mail arrived. Mr. Serling fanned through the big pile (he was already famous) and took one out to read carefully. It was an offer from a company that had an obsolete commercial jet flight training cockpit for sale or rent. The friend said Mr. Serling got quiet as he thought about it. He eventually asked some pilot buddies (including his brother?) 'What would happen if a trans-Atlantic jet accelerated to an extremely high velocity?" This all eventually led to a memorable Twilight Zone episode, "The Odyssey of Flight 33". The dialogue is reportedly convincing because the pilots wrote a lot of it, while drinking at Mr. Serling's place. Excerpt here:

My point is that I find inspiration in scenes, props, and similar from the very talented vendors who make high quality products at affordable prices. For example, London224's "Da Vinci Glider" led me to this short animation:

That was good, I liked it. A bit of Tolkien spun in there with your own twist.
