Re: Finally starting to spend $$ I don't have
Thanks - that is a very good point that I did not realize. In my head I was thinking it would work if designed "modular", but perhaps this isn't necessarily easier and may end up heavier. Although, if I was able to easily tear-down and move a 1:1 full setup, that would definitely be a selling point..... I don't exactly have a special place dedicated for a sim unit.... right now it is going in the formal dinning room.
Did anyone ever make a detailed DIY plan for the MDF framing for a 737 cockpit? I have a file with all the measurements of the real deal, but I mean some thing that is written for a semi-novice woodworker (like the plans they have in wood magazines, or something that is step-by step, or has exploded images w/ measurements). I have been searching for this for a while, and although I find great construction photos here and there, I don't find detailed descriptions or directions. They would still take quite a bit of reverse engineering.

Re: Finally starting to spend $$ I don't have
I'm cutting out my MDF frame for the MIP. When i have all the pieces i'll get some pictures of each MDF panel. If i have time i'll also add the dimensions for you too. Although some parts would be slightly adapted for my own FS project.

Re: Finally starting to spend $$ I don't have
There are a few out there. Here is one from the file library http://www.mycockpit.org/fileshare/s...?e=32&catid=27
Detailed drawings are also in the file library. I made 1:1 scale PDF of the 737 panels so you could print anything out at scale http://www.mycockpit.org/fileshare/s...tryuserid=2999Grant D.

Re: Finally starting to spend $$ I don't have
Building the MIP stand is fairly easy if you have basic measurements .
After that it all depends if you use a pro MIP, and which one, or if you do it yourself etc.Which MCP (because they attach differently) etc etc
Search my threads, I posted some pics on mine.Jackpilot
