Greetings!

 

This site is my first attempt.  I'll get it all figured out one of these days... so please hang in there.

 

The purpose?

 

1. I am building a full scale Star Trek (universe) Shuttlecraft. 

 

2. I want to share what I am doing with other fans.

 

3. Some of you may have some great suggestions.

 

My shuttlecraft is named EnoS III (after one of NASA's first space monkeys).

 

It is not "cannon"... so please don't nitpick me on details that are not "just right"

 

It is a model somewhere between the "Enterprise" Shuttle Pod and the Star Trek (TOS) Galileo Seven.  When finished it will look much like the latter.

 

The EnoS III is not just a "pretty" to look at... but an actual space flight simulator.

 

It will be powered by 5 PC computers.  7 DVD players (a couple will just be playing the "soundtrack"... a Sony PlayStation, and a number of other still and full motion video devices.

 

The Captain and First Officer's seats came from an L-1011 jet. 

 

It will have heat and air conditioning.

 

Currently I have over a dozen LCD video displays ranging from 3" to 19"... some of them will make up the "glass cockpit" display instruments with the others doing some pretty cool things.

 

The deck is 6 feet wide and 10 feet long... it rests on 2.5" "black pipe" runners.  The deck is covered with a plastic "diamond plate" flooring.  (More on that in a later message.)  There is a "hatch" in the middle of the floor with technical goodies just like Scotty worked on in the TOS Episode "Galileo Seven".

 

There is lots more to tell... including the "backstory"... and many more pictures.

 

This site... just like my EnoS III project is a part time venture.  I will update it as often as I have the time.  (It may be a little "random"... just like me.)

 

Thanks for your interest!
