GLB Overhead Project

[Sean Nixon]

Where are the circuit breakers on the overhead?

Yes, the CONT, FWD & AFT CAB are potentiometers.

[Sean Nixon]

The AIR TEMP (top right of FWD OHD) should be a 45 degree rotary, not a POT.

The AUTO/ALT/MAN on the pressurisation panel should be a 30 degree rotary not a POT.

The MAINT position on the electrical panel should have a black momentary switch on it.

If I spot any more I'll get back. It's time for GLEE!

Thanks sean,

Ok I think im almost there now, Just a question on the apu switch,
I only have on/off/on OR on/off/on momentery toggle switches.
Will either of these do the apu or can you tell me wher to get the one required from.

APU is on/off/mon (momentary on the start side)

From the switches you have, the ON-OFF-ON would be better suited for the APU switch. If you used the momentary, then it would always be in the on position, which I don't think would be realistic.

You could get an ON-OFF-(ON) switch (the brackets mean momentary position). This would mimic the real switch better, the START position being momentary.

Out of interest, what hardware and software are you hooking the overhead up to?

Try Maplins, RS Components or your local electronics shop, if you have one. They all have over the counter service.

Online, you'll definately get them at somewhere like Farnells, but there'll be loads of others.

Maplins up the road will try there at weekend.
