I've finally come around to actually build my Simworld OH. Been lying around for over a year now...

Tried different frames, but the original 737-300 just didn't fit and an aluframe I made didn't do the trick eighter so I'm back to the good old wood :D

I will make the gauges as a DIY project and have bought a Servo card from OC and printed the plates on to plastic foil. The foil will be glued to a white plexiglass, the type they use in billboards for backlighting.
Had a few servos (HS-55) lying from a crashed RC plane, so I will start with them. Hopefully it will work and I'll document the making later.

Hi Nax,

I would like to know how you made the coupling of the steering column and the crossbar. Could you place some pictures or another movie maybe? I just got two columns and wheels myself and ran into the problem you already solved : )

thanks in advance,

dion

Seem to remember there's about 2000 soldering points just in the FWD overhead;)

But it's part of the hobby! Good luck, I'm sure it will turn out awesome like everything else you have accomplished.. :lol:

Hi dion
The assembly is now mounted in cockpit, so new pics will not be taken before I buy a new house or get in serious problems with the yokes, but I hope and think they will hold.
I'll post the pics I have, but I have drawings where you can get into the smallest details. Download Sketchup from google and send me your email address in PM and I will send them to you.

EDIT: Here is a link to the photoalbum with all the pics. There is also some screenies from sketchup.

Hope it helps

Starting to look like a overhead now.
Have to paint some crack between some of the panels and all the "DZUS" screws, but think they will be OK in the end.
Need a few pushbuttons, pots and switches before I start the BIG task of wireing it up.
