New project: Cessna Citation Mustang

[Crashtender]

Hello

I recently decided to start building a Cessna Citation Mustang.
To give some insight on my project I also created a website.

https://sites.google.com/site/cessnacitationmustangsim/panel-design

At this moment I'm still drawing and planning. Hope to start building soon!

Regards,

Crashtender

Nice =)
Mustang is in my to do list too. I was lucky enough to obtain some authentic Mustang selector knobs.

Good luck on your project!!

Nice =)
Thanks! :)

I've spotted them on your site. Very nice work!
If you could provide me with some measurements of the knob you would make me very happy :D

Thanks :cool:

Here is a pic of knobs I have cloned, I am yet to engrave the lines on the knobs. The base diameter is around 20-22mm height is about 20mm I'll double check when I get in the shop.

Very nice idea a Citation pit.

How are your plans to interface to FSX? Do you use the feelthere/Wilco one?

Thanks and good luck

Whoopee!!!
Better pics of the real knobs. :mrgreen:

First I thought you meant the G1000 knob, also a beauty!

I thought they used the Korry BP258 (http://www.esterline.com/controlsystems/KORRY/CockpitControls/Knobs.aspx) but now it seems that this is not the case
The front and back of the grip don't protrude over the bottom disc as I can see from your pics.
I have to make some slight modifications to my design.
Nice, nice, nice :)

Here's a pic of my completely wrong design. ;)
Getting close...

Hi Peter,

My plans are to use the opencockpit cards for the interface.
About the software I'm still a bit unsure. I read that Mindstar has an excellent G1000 and Flight1 has done an great job on the modelling of the Mustang. Maybe some of you can shed a light here...

Designing the panels continues steadily.
Here's a quick pic preview :)

Basic Switch Panel Design is done. :D
Minor changes might have to be made for electronic component placement, etc.
Here's a peek preview. ;)

Added some decal to make it look a bit more appealing.
Now I have to order some electronics so I can finish some details.
In the mean time I'll start working on detailing the G1000 panels.
:p
