The Seattle 737 project

Here is a small demo clip of the flight controls taken during better lighting conditions :)


Flight Control demo V2 - YouTube

I installed the two Flight Management Computers this afternoon and started the glareshield construction.

Today was just one of those days where I really didn't feel like doing anything. However it seems as my brain is wired in such a way that a day without some kind of progress is considered as neglect.Anyways, got the frame for the glareshield in place and pushed the MIP into position. Measurements are coming out very nicely when compared to the markuspilot website.
I also cut the template components for the top of the glareshield. Would have finished this as well but someone must have stolen wood from my supply (or did I just run out?). Not much to show for but let me at least share a few pictures for documentation purposes :)

Ok, glareshield top cut and fitted tonight. The detail work will have to wait until tomorrow. Ran out of screws......

Wow that is really going along nicely!
Wish that was sitting in my garage :)

Detail work done. Still have to make the little "pocket" that goes onto the center part. The grey is just a primer as the top plate will end up black. Actually found some black rubber spray at Home Depot, which will help add a more realistic texture.Sorry about the rough looking window frames. Had to remove some of the trim as the 1x4 proved to be too wide for the top and center posts.

Significant update to the project will be posted on my blog this weekend.
The only thing I can say so far is that the Alaska N512AS has been sold.
