Looking for Cessna 206-6 Stationair Drawings
I've looked all over the internet but wasn't able to find a really good drawing of the Stationair 6. I'm thinking the original Stationair as they built or perhaps are building stretched versions (7,8). An interior would be awesome but I'm looking for outer dimensions as I can extrapolate interior measurements from. I've looked for simpits as well of the Stationair and couldn't find any. So any data or drawings anyone could point me to would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to model the skywagon C185 but no good models (FS2004/FSX) exist. So I'm thinking Carenado's 206 model is the way to go. He builds what I consider to be state of the art.
Any help would be appreciated.
Lots of great stuff in the Parts Manual
I found lots of really good stuff in the Cessna 206 Parts Manual.
Instrument Panel
Doors
Cabin Layout
Seats
I haven't found anything about linkages in there yet but I've only skimmed it. Although there aren't any measurements of the items. It's a gold mine of images though. I also found the Wipline Float parts manual for the Cessna 206. Also without dimensional information. I may be able to search out the parts and get dimensional info from suppliers.
I do have the cabin dimensions from the Cessna 206 Website. Along with a good 3 view of the 206. I may invest in a POH/PIM for the model as that has everything in it AFAIK. I'm not going to use actual Cessna parts as that could be pretty expensive. I've looked about and actual parts (rudder pedals/yoke) would be pretty expensive. I'm pretty sure I can replicate them rather well though. I'm looking forward to that the most during construction. I've seen so many creative ways of building what looks like to the naked eye the actual part but in reality is a creatively constructed version.
There are 2 salvage yards not to far from my home so that is going to be a place for me to visit for seats I'm sure along with a few other things.
I even had ideas of using the entire space of the room for the amphibian. Building a dock and floats. I haven't measured the ceiling height in there but I'm thinking it's close to 9 feet. The cabin is just over 4 feet tall that would leave say 4.5 feet to the floor. I don't know how high it sits above the floats. I'm sure it's taller then when on wheels. It sure would be cool to have to climb into the 206 to fly. It could make things a bit easier and harder during construction. Plus there is that question... If I ever sell the house - By the way there is a Cessna 206 on floats in one room.. LOL Although for another float plane enthusiast it could be a good selling point.
I'm making a list of wants for the sim. To create a bill of materials sort of for the project. As well as what I want from a creature comfort level and what I'll need from a computer operational standpoint. I can run a hose from the A/C vent straight into the computer area to help cool it. I'll need something for the cabin as well. The room I'm building in is the coolest in the house (summer and winter) 9x9x9. It's right beside the bathroom too just in case I need to make a mid flight emergency landing LOL. Somethings about actual GA flight aren't needing simulation :).
So list and plans to follow in the next new thread :)
Re: Looking for Cessna 206-6 Stationair Drawings
Old topic I know, but anything new here on the 206 (or close enough, 205 or 207)? I was looking for drawings to create model in a flight simulator (flightgear.org) for some actual pilot training at my work. I had also seen that parts manual through another forum. Anything better or new or more that anyone has?
Cheers.
