Okay,

I still need to figure out the price, im trying to gauge how many i would need to build to get a good idea of that, it works out cheaper and better to pool all the requests and make a small run of several pieces rather than doing one at once, this is a very difficult piece to make and a real challenge, but i love a challenge

Okay, so i have had a go at the back light, not perfect yet but close, its difficult infact impossable to get even light spread when the panel is only 2mm thick and that includes PCB, but Im going to try again using 3mm, should even the light spread better and jiggle the led positions a bit, but not bad for a first attempt

Next job is to make the adhesive layer, in the pics below the panel itself is just resting on there, but once it has its adhesive layer installed it will overcome most of the light bleed through around the edges

Hi Phil,

For a first attempt that looks pretty good. Fully understand the cost issue. Hopefully more people will be attracted to it with a finished product.

Have you posted anywhere else? AvSim, SimFlight and FlightSim are three obvious places with plenty of enthusiasts.

Hi Phil,

I see you're NE of Preston. Not too far. I'm tied up for the next two weekends (visiting Pete Dowson next weekend and family commitment 25/26 July) but should be free 1-2 August. Working full-time restricts me to weekends. Prefer Saturday if that's OK with you.

PM me with details when you're able.

[phil744]
