Excellent work skino, now how do you make the altitude gauge....I bet that will be challenging!

I have continued to build:





This instrument is smaller (50 mm) in contrast to the other with 85 mm.

Next, I build the radio (COM1 only) and a FLARM (as dummy). I am waiting for the converted servos (360 degrees servos) for the altimeter and compass. A good friend of mine is built according to standard servos.

Hi Skino, Look great, you nearly have all the instruments!

Have you any more ideas regarding the enclosure as yet?

Hi Alex,

I am building small models to solve the problem. I think I get it. At the moment everything is running smoothly, it makes me distrustful.

One way that I thought about building a glider enclosure is; upscaling the cockpit section of an RC Sailplane / Glider plan. I think that it is very possible to build this way, although I think building a canopy will be almost impossible.

I have plenty of great gliding experiences, where I live there are 2 gliding clubs with a winch (1 with a SuperCub for an AeroTow). An aero tow is £28 and a normal winch is something like £8 per winch plus £1 per minute aircraft hire with a typical flight lasting anywhere between 10-15mins (some a lot longer depending on alt such as with an aerotow). Gliding is very cheap flying.

I hope one day I can build a glider sim, but I think I would use simkits gauges as id struggle on building the altitude gauge!

Anyway, I am following your project closely. If you need any logos decals for your sim just drop me a PM.

Excellent work Skino!

Hi alex,
Thank you for your offer. I suppose it might. I will build the fuselage like a surfboard. A core of foam (styrofoam or Styrodur), as it is used for insulation for buildings. In several layers of fiberglass mat.
I'm also a Glider Club nearby and have already made ​​a trial flight. Was very impressive. Unfortunately I'm too heavy to fly there on time. There is no heavy gliders.

The fuselage is hanging on a gear box and chains from the ceiling and move like a motion platform. Luckily I have my own house and several rooms still free.

There is still much to do.
