Busy, Busy

We are very busy in the tower at the moment.  I hope the electronics for the simulator will arrive today and we are planning to get the sensors and electonics installed at the weekend.  The plan is to have it up and running by Offenham Wake (June 8th), so that we can have some demonstrations and 'have a go' sessions.  The Deputy Lord High Everything and I spent quite a lot of last weekend in the tower making sure that the frame painting was complete on the bits of frame that will have the sensors on (and the surrounding areas, we don't want to splash them with paint later!) and working out where to run the cable.  I also had a very interesting lesson on how the thing actually works, the Deputy is the expert in these matters, my understanding was very basic.  The job for today is to try and get hold of some motorbike tyres and start on the silencing system.
I am now in a bit of a panic.  I have spent the last 12 months wheedling and bullying people into a) believeing this is a good idea and b) helping me with the practicalities of making it happen.  And I have spent other people's money doing it.  What if it is a disaster?!!  What if nobody wants to use it?  I have my own plans for usuing the system, but unless I want to do what one person told me they do and go and ring quarters of suprise maximus on my own, I need a few other people to share my enthusiasm.  At the moment the excitement is a bit muted, but I hope that when the whole thing is up and running and people see what can be achieved then I will be able to spend my sleepless nigts planning ringing instead of worrying about it.
