Just wanted to share my new home-made under the glare wings panel!
I used 30 min epoxy, Fiberglas cloth (Tightly woven cloth in a smooth 4 harness satin weave) and styrofoam!!!:D
BTW, that's Flyengravity's new superb IBL MIP.

You did a marvelous job there Phil.

One note. IBL is from FDS. Engravity's are called EPB. (dont want to step on anyones toes here ;-) )

I cant help but noticing the great sidepanels. You did those yourself too ?

and the seat conversions ? northern flightsim ?

All in all a great sim ! My compliments !

Holy #@!*&&%!

The only thing that gave it away as a Sim was the paneled garage door!

Speechless...more info on that interior...PLEASE.:)

You have done a very good job on your sim. One of the absolute best setup around.

Sure it is a blast to fly it:)

Very interested in your clutch/mechanical solution for the TQ. Anything to confess/share? ;)

Thanks Ivar,
The TQ works flawlessly just like the real aircraft! I need to tweak it a bit more before I'm 100% satisfy! I was hoping to find a solution around the servos, and Art(Northernflightsim.com) offered his new fantastic clutch system. The levers move up and down smoothly no more jerkiness, you can easily yank the levers back without worrying about crushing the gears in the servos box:(!!!! I'm 100% satisfy with this conversion:p:p and it's a must to have items in your sim!!!!Art, has found the true solution for autothrottle automation two thumbs up for Art !! Thank you Jack :p;):Dyou're the true artis here, I love my new wipers!!! I will send you few more pics... Your new nickname is.....Picasso!

Yeah GREAT SIM !!!. I just want to say that that Phil has helped me a lot!!. I dont know what Id do without his help and off course the people in Mycockpit.org:-o.
And the great thing about Phil is that he only averages 4 hrs sleep everyday, which means that his accessible wealth of knowledge is almost available 24hrs a day.:D
Above all though he is a fantastic guy!!. and I would also like say that the people he mentioned especially Art (Northern Flightsim) and his wife "Rusty" you'll never meet anybody so dedicated to their customers, two very nice people in this hobby. They are very trustworthy and the stuff that they make is absolutely magnificent. The thing about them is that when they say they'll do something they do it. I spent thousands of dollars with them and I have no hesitation whatsoever that they deliver!!. Very Rare in this hobby!!.

Hey Phil,

Nice work on your Sim! Can you share how you made the panels? You know sizes, diagrams, step by step, etc...

I need to make the same for my setup and your work would be great to include in my project. If you have something, please email or PM.

Thanks,

John
