737-800 Build in Oslo

That's great Nax !!!!!

So the TQ foam was needed after all :)

Hey keep posting pics ;)

Hehe.. THey were so nice I just couldn't throw them all away, and finally I found use for some.

I Havent posted any pics of the chairs mounted in the cockpit. Here is a pic that show the seats in place and at the same time show how tight fit the sim is in my room. If i'm to put on more weight now, I have to send my son behind the MIP when it's needed :D

This other pic is when trying on the homemade rails for the first time. Fit like a glow.
Rails made by my good friend K. He's got a full cockpit as well and is very very handy.

Took over a year to find out why they wouldn't work. Turned out to be a couple of cables connected upside down.

Wow!! Very nice!!

OOOOO yeaaaaaaa :D

That's nice, just in time before you light up the Xmas tree !!!!!

Hey Nax,

Wait for more news during the following days about the cockpitsonic DST... something is happening in that field ;) hopefully we will have news during the next week :)

Hey Nax,

you have a great project, congrats! I like your door ;-)
Will you tell me more about your rails solutions.
I have two old crew seats from a 707 and it is nearly impossible to find rails for it.

Hi there.
When I bought my chairs from desert-air, they said it would come with rails, but they didn't. As I understand, many others have not got their promised rails as well.
I have a good friend that have a great workshop for metal, wood and nylon. He made me some rails after I made some sketches.
I have been unable to upload pics to my photobucket account with this new company PC, but made a Picasa account today to finally be able to share some stuff again. Sorry it took so long.

I use sketchup for all my drawing:

Here is a pic that show that the rails were built with 3 pieces of metal:

I should have a few more pics. Ill have a look for them now that I know I can share them.

Are you planning on J-rails?

Any idea about the costs?

JWS

I will install my new yokes in a few weeks, and plan to take the seatrails to level 2 in the same operation since they have to be removed for a while anyway.
Here is the plan to get the sideways movement without having the actual J-rails (they are EXPENCIVE)
I will moult my rails on a pair of rails going the other direction and make a J in my MDF base. A bolt/pin from the seats wil go into the J securing that the sideways movement cannot be done unless the seat is in full back position. The J in the MDF will have nylon along the sides.
Hope and think this will work.

Cost will be equal to 0$

Thats a very good idea, and should, in theory, work perfectly fine! Good luck with it anyway!
