My hybrid cockpit build

Great build .. I envy the amount of space you have for your build.

I noticed that you left out (rather left in) the gusset holes in your frame? They could come in handy later when you want to run wire and so on. As you are building the fuselage you may want to do some of the electrical work. As you have the chance now to put in stuff. Lighting and cooling systems (fans). Getting in as much of the electrical as you can while it's still pretty open can save a great many headaches later.

Keep up the great work. It's quite inspirational.

The drawing of the 737 is just what i need, did you scale the individual parts for this in 1:1 so i could get it printed and trace around just like your lear?

This is brilliant stuff :p

Thanks Kurby,
Will definitely show progress and Acknowledge your efforts when i proceed.Wont be for a wee while yet but have all data saved.

Hello,

I can't say for shure if all the parts are like the real ones, but they can be very close, all my sketchup models are full size 1:1, one thing i am certain is that the windows are with the real sizes.

Hello Ronson, you are right, all the gusset holes will be added in a later time, the frame is being test assembled and all parts are screwed to each other so i can disassemble it for gusset placement and apple green painting just like the real deal.

I can share the pdf file i used to print, with all the pieces in 1:1 scale.

Kurby do you have a simalar print to this for the 737, it would be awesome if you did.

Unfortunately i don't, i never got to that fase of the 737 3d model, since i decided to create a hybrid frame instead, sorry.

Kurby,
What are the base and height dimensions of your shell?
Thanks
