    Horizontal angling front view monitors

    I am building my Cessna 421C cockpit at the moment and am about to start the frame.

    i was wondering if anyone has used monitors for the left and right side for the front view and attached them to the fuselage frame on an angle horizontally?

    Each monitor would replace the actual window entirely so you could not see outside the cockpit and could only see the monitor.

    any tricks to doing this?

    Re: Horizontal angling front view monitors

    Thanks Les.

    i follow that site and will be using the side window technique in my design.

    I am after info about the front monitors and what affect tilting the monitors on the horizontal axis will have to my fov.

    if I had a single monitor and tilted it 20 degrees downward, would it have an effect on the visuals?

    Tilting it down on some displays may cause image degradation. Why dont you set it up on the bench and see if you
    like it.
