Is that a P3C Orion trim wheel I see? LOL
Take care Scott,

Actually, I am going to wire the elevator trim to my yoke switches eventually but when I fly a cessna or other GA aircraft I like the trim wheel. To the right of my pedestal on the copilot side I actually have a set of GA power controls and on my pedestal I can drop an overlay of the normal GPS. My pilots side panel can be removed with 4 screws and replaced with a GA panel which I can run PM GAIFR on. So in short, with a few minor configuration changes I can be flying in a GA pit instead of a lear. I wanted to do this so I can practice for Intrument rating at some point and fly a Mooney or 172 while practicing.

Your throttle looks really good! Nice job on that.

Thanks all

One can get a lot of inspiration around here and couldnt do this without all of your help of which I have received a lot. Also the ideas that can be found on mycockpit and fellow builder sites really makes this possible for everyone.

On to the panels!

And Michael, one of these days I will get down to Southern Illinois and I will look you up. I really would love to see your sim in person.

Here is a picture of my updated pit. I made the Flight Guidance Controller and Display Controllers for the upper portion of the MIP and have partially wired up. Still need to do some labeling but I will be getting Innovative's panels for the Learjet so this is now just temporary (at least I will have everything tested and programmed and dont have to rush to put in Joes upper panels right away.). This is also perhaps a little better picture of my new MIP lighting using 8 7000mcd white leds and the dimmer circuit from Mike.

Enjoy

Hey Scott,
Your Lear45 cockpit is truly amazing! I can not believe how far you have come in such a short period of time.

Been a while since I last updated my build but here is a more recent picture.

FGC is working great but now switching to Open Cockpits so am in a testing phase. PFD and ND buttons and rotaries are real but still need to be interfaced. Once I move everything off my Hagstrom card onto my OC cards I will move my Hagstrom board to my PM client PC and then finish interfacing the PFD and ND as well as RMUs.

Real Throttle, Flaps, and Spoiler levers:

Wow, your throttle and yoke mechanix looks awesome, how did you do it, and where do you get those kind of parts? I got sick of cutting stuff out of wood and raw aluminum stock from home depot and went back to ch products for now. Also where did you get the extra clock and glass cockpit set up, is that magenta with an add on? Mike

Beautiful work Scott, you're a credit to the industry. Love the night shot too. How's the OC programming coming along?

Ken.
