in-flight safety

A close up of the eco 1's signal controls. This system helps to make flying the eco 1 as safe as possible (that, and the flags, strobe, and portable headlight). These panels are in the front seat only (the econaut in the rear seat cannot steer or brake anyways).

Left side (turn switch, turn and brake indicators):


and right side (turn switch and turn indicator):



I think they have a nice, star trek-meets-retro kind of feel. They don't do all the burbles and bleeps like mister spock's gear. Oh well, maybe for the eco 2...

I think you should make mini-rockets for the mini-econuats! How cool would that be?

... and some might say the incredibly dashing guy in the cockpit. Well, they might if they were Red Dwarf fans anyways. Kids, if you are wondering what the heck I'm talking about, then just go back home and download some "Red Dwarf" (shameless plug). Probably the funniest show known to man.
