My Cessna based home cockpit

Hi,
I am also building a Cessna Home Cockpit. It is still very early wip. Also,besides from having no experience at all regarding building and electronics, I don't know a lot about flying. Both are new hobbies for me. I started building last January. What I now have is a cockpit which can be dismantled within a few minutes so I can use my computer for other things than flightsims. Because of this, I had to make a modular cockpit which now consists of four main parts:
- the panel which is on wheel and can be easily moved
- the two side monitors which hang from the ceiling of the room
- the roof of the cockpit which is also conected to the ceiling of the room
- the pilot chair which is on wheels and can also be folded in.

This is how it looks today:

This has to be one of the most immersive home cockpits I have seen. It really looks like you are sat in the aircraft. I would love to see some pictures of your 'mobile' setup.

Hi Jeda333

The movie clip looks fantastic -
i too have been building a Cessna sim if you look at the general
aviation pictures you can see my wee Cessna

cheers
Dave

Great YouTube and cockpit. How did you get the yoke behind the monitor or monitors?


Hugh

Hi Hugh,
I extended the shaft of the yoke so there is more room to fit the display in between the housing of the yoke and the yoke it self.

Also, I use two ipads and one monitor to display the instruments. The ipads are behind the monitor.

I will shoot a video of the outside of the sim. This will explain the setup better.

thanks, JeDa

I had not considered overlapping the monitors and the radio panel. Thanks.

I do have two 15" monitors (1024x768 ) salvaged from vending machines. Turned sideways 10" wide, 14" high and 1-5/8" thick placed on both sides of the yoke. Will start looking for a 10" USB monitor or tablet for the artificial horizon and DG between the 15" monitors. The instrument layout is a little tighter than one 24" monitor with a hole to pass the yoke. Don't think we're not going to see them anytime soon.

Can't wait for your video.

Hugh

I finished my low budget gps module, so I did another video.
