You're setting the bar pretty high for the rest of us, Scott. That is outstanding.

Thank you. Credit where it's due, it all started with your book.
Here's a bit more progress. I've made most of the internal mount plates. I did a test fit of the mount plates, just to be sure everything is in order.

This is the stepper mount plate. Almost everything seemed to end up mounted on this plate. The bearing in the middle is for the slip ring connector.
That's looking absolutely brilliant mate!

Long time no see. How's the house going?
We ended up buying rather than building, have finally got the cockpit back together and building a few more bits before the flight sim expo in October. Hope to see you there, and check out the world's first sim HSI!
Roger that on the first, fingers crossed on the second!Quote:

They were cheap as ...
These guys seem to sell runout stock or something. They're very cheap. Not good communicators, but from my experience reliable suppliers, if a bit slow.
BTW, an update for those watching this. Progress has been a bit slow of late as I've started taking flying lessons and have bought a microlight trike. I still intend to continue the HSI project as and when I get the time ... but I've been a bit distracted lately. ;-)
