Dehavilland Beaver Home Cockpit to Scale
Hey guys: I have searched a few cockpit building forums and sites and I maybe one of the few or the only one to do a DHC 2 beaver build or any of the DHC 2,3 or 6 family.:( Aug.08 I started my DIY cockpit, from hundreds of photos and measurements from a real beaver cockpit. Measuring 48" wide and 4'8" high 3/4 veneer plywood and 1/8 veneer mahogany. Equipped with the Pro Flight yoke, throttle quadraint, pedals and switch control panel installed in the cockpit. Complimented with a Acer 22" and a Dell 19" monitors. Here are some pics

Awesome. I am planning to build such a cockpit myself. Are there any contructions plan you can support me with either DHC2 or Twin Otter?
Especially for the wood construction.
