A Simple Enhancement to my cockpit with PMDG and a 737ng poster

Great Job! Very innovative.

Thanks for all your comments,

Matt, Yes may need to change the thread title soon lol

@ Sean, ahh the penny drops on me, Thanks for your help that day!!
Basically the top plates no longer are pre drilled so i drilled myself after confirming with robert and stef at fly engravity.
Very pleased with the panel although its a bit lonely on its own, it may soon have a friend alongside it lol

Regards

Steve

A few pictures of how yoke column was made:)

Materials = 1 x 3" soil pipe cut to required length
2 x 3" couplings (push fit to solvent weld)
5 x L brackets
A few wood screws and some nuts and bolts

The base is 18mm mdf with four spacers in each corner to lift it off floor a few mm for yoke wire to pass under

Attach one coupling to the base with wood screws and the nuts and bolts

For the top I didnt want to open my ch yoke and drill through it
voiding warrenty etc so i drew round the yoke onto an 18mm piece of mdf,cut this and repeated
and screwed these togetherleaving me with a 36mm yoke shaped base.
