Generic Multi engine GA simpit from Sweden

[docmeister]

Hi there. I noticed that you have two quadrants. Can you tell me what kind of connection they use, USB or other. I bought the yoke and quadrant together as a kit and the quadrant uses a 6 pin plug. I want to buy another quad but I'm worried that I won't be able to plug it in.

Cheers

Hello.
The second quadrant (Saitek) that is sold seperatly has a USB connector.
Just plug it in to the yoke.

To make a nice sidepocket for checklists,plates and other stuff go and look at the nearest car scrapyard. I is amazing how many things and ideas you can get from the car industry.
I found this piece on the backside of a drivers seat from a mercedes E200 (1997). I simply shortend the pocket, drilled a couple of holes and attatched it to the inside. I Think it looks quite neat.

Here comes a little update. I have coverd the sim with plastic sheets. The floor has also got a nice black carpet. The seats are fitted and bolted down.
I am now waiting for a usb rotary encoder so I can finish the panel.

Very nice and very clean.

very clean!
nubee here, how do you cut the sheet metal and how did you make the leather looking edge above the screens? It looks really nice!

Hello.

The metal sheet is milled. Altough you can use a metal saw aswell but it takes longer time.

The glareshield is made of 8 pieces of mdf that I glued together in to a solid block. Then I cut it to shape with a saw and sanded it to shape. That took forever and is by far the most timeconsuming part on this project.
Then I covered it with vinyl using contactglue and a heatgun to make the curved edges.

Your pit is very impressive!! I love the details!!

I love everything about this pit. Especially the seats. I know you didn't build those but they are looking great. The MIP is pretty awesome as well. The metal work is really impressive too - forward cowling.

Keep up the great work and hoping for some more updates..

Absolutely amazing work, I am looking to achieve something similar and am stunned by how good that looks...well done pal.

One issue I am facing for my own pit is how best to inset the monitors to have them flat against the panel as you have there. How have you mounted them?
