MiGPit Mk.VII

One year on and a look at the MiGPit Mk.VII, happily esconced in a TrakRacer TR160 chassis and re-engined with a HP OMEN 45L beast driving the sim.

The MiGPit Mk.VII was constructed at Xmas 2023 by installing the desktop components of the MiGPit Mk.VI onto a TrakRacer TR160 aluminium profile cockpit. A year later the pit is still evolving.
