MD500E simulator update

Hi all
Its Been a while since I posted on the forums so I thought it was time I shared some progress on my MD500E sim.
This is the last and final mockup I will do before I get down to the fabrication side of things.

The plastic conduit I am using is way better than the cardboard mockup, but it’s still hard to get it to keep its shape, especially the centre window strip.

I am a lot happier with the way the cockpit looks now, and I can see an MD500e model in there somewhere.
I can't wait to get in and start some sim flying!!

Rhys,

very nice, I am not a heli man but the plastic looks way better, and I definitley can see the MD500 in there. Keep us updated and let us know how the auto rotates go:smile:

Looking good.. I like helis too. Although I'm building a fixed wing. Looking very much like a 500e. Keep up the good work and updates coming.
