Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum so just thought I would say Hi.
Some of you might know or have have heard of me. I don't know of anyone else in the world who has done a Beechcraft Queenair sim.
Anyway, I now have an F27 project just starting and the Queenair has gone to another sim builder.
I've had a go at the big stuff, with one of Peter Cos' early 737ng panels and a great deal of timber and sheet aluminium as well as a classic 727 project. Neither of which really fired my rockets for various reasons.Mostly lack of a real cockpit.
The Queenair happened along and I took the opportunity to have a real cockpit. Now the F27 has happened along, and I just couldn't help myself.
It's probably the ideal setup,or will be, for me, since I like the old analogue instruments and don't really have aspirations to sit in my pit for hours on end watching the a/p. Don't take offence all you Boeing and bus drivers.I do appreciate flat panel displays, much easier than steam guages, and in an ideal world I would probably have a mix of both. Who knows? like many simmers, i'm always developing and thinking for now and tomorrow.

All the best, Dean :D
