Attachment 8300
i would like to hear your opinion about them, if you could let me know what you think about the product and most importantly the prices !!
many thanks
Sam.
Don't like the fastening screws of the panels and the fact that all overhead panels are the same color.
For the rest, great panels
Hi Tiburon,
thank you for your comments, we are still under development stage and as you know the overhead is not released yet, we will bring out 2 versions of the overhead, full grey one and the normal Grey and white, prices will be extremely lower than the market prices and that's for sure.. :)
any more comments are welcome and much appreciated as it does help us to improve our product and make them better for us and everyone .
many thanks guys
Sam.
Ok, great ! Will you be making pedestal panels as well ?
its definitely on the list, but as you know those things do take time to cook nicely ! :) so we looking about a month or two at the latest.
Great. One more question : what is the thickness off your panels ?
front and back panels are 3mm each, so that's 6mm in total. any thing else just let me know. thanks
Here are some new pictures of an updated Boeing 737 overhead panel, still not released yet and its still under development, will keep updating you with the progress.
if you have any question please let me know.

Hi Sam,
I am very surprised by the quality of the panels. But when I took a closer look on the overhead panel I see that it is not that accurate as Flyengravity for example:
- Looks like the font needs bigger or the font itselve is not right. example the word ENGINE START is on the FE and the real panel more to the left.
- The placing of switches etc is not good, for example the R WIPER knop is right above the left starter switch. But when comparing with th real panel the R WIPER must be between the left starter and both L R starter switch.
- Also on the real and FE panel i see the taxi light just left of the L wiper switch, but on your panel it is exact underneath the switch.
Why is that?
Regards,
Raymond
PS: I used this picture for the real aircraft OH: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Gol-L...d77c030a8697c3
Also, you made a little panel for the ground power, in reality this is just a black sticker.
hi, thank you guys for all your comments, i really do appreciate all those information, i have to say, for someone to compare my overhead with a real one to that level of details is an achievement for me, as you can see from the overhead pictures above, we have added few more details to it such as the ground power and the 2 index to lock singes, we have made them of plastic and laser engraved them instead of using stickers, guys you have got to remember, this panel is still under development and as i progress with it thing will get better and better, one thing to remember though, every manufacture has its own design and quality, as i always say there are no 2 the same overhead made by 2 different companies!
take a look at the best overhead available in the market and compare it with the real one, i guarantee you will spot alot of differences and that's the way it goes,the reality of it is that no one can or will make a real overhead panel, we could only look around for the best we can find without braking the bank !
Few companies has come up with close ones but for what they are asking i would rather buy a Car and keep the change !! :)
many thanks guys and expect new updates and more product form us (without braking the bank)

Hi Sam,
Sorry for the criticism, but it's just the things I discovered and perhaps you can modify them since I think it's a nice product you are making!
Regards,
Raymond
Hi Raymond, no hard feelings mate, i do a appreciate all your comments in fact am working now as we speak to modify few parts and hopefully i will be done with it by the end of the day or the latest tomorrow.
i would like to get your opinion though if you don't mind ones im done with it.
many thanks for brining those notes to my attention.
Sam.
really looking forward! since I am looking for this kind of OH solution.
regards,
Raymond
Hi Raymond, i have made few changes to the overhead, have a look at this video and let me know what you think

i look forward to hear from you.
thanks
Sam
Sam,
Why making a video from a real overhead panel? :D hihi it's looking great with the changes you have made concerning the comments!
Big compliments!
Regards,
Raymond
Hi Raymond,
many thanks for your help mate, i have finally released the overhead for sale on my website, here is more picture of it.
Attachment 8429 Attachment 8430 Attachment 8431 Attachment 8432
next on my list to make is the after overhead, ill keep you updated.
thanks
Sam.
Hi, one little criticism : the blue annunciators are not actually blue, the light behind it is.
Hi Tiburon,
that is correct, they LEDs are Blue and not the Annunciators, the customers will be supplied with both annunciators, normal ones and blue ones, this way, they can chose what to use.
i just think the blue annunciators add more to the look of the overhead.
many thanks for your input.
regards
Sam.

Hiya Bassam45, I have just ordered the Captains side MIP from yourselves and also the Saitek throttle lever set. I hadn't seen this thread before hand and just saying Hello, look forward to receiving my goodies in a few weeks.
Hi Steven,
many thanks for your order mate, i will do my best to get it out as soon as possible, in the meantime, if you need any help at all please let me know.
regards
Sam.
No problem, cheers.
Small update, We have changed the fasteners on the MIP, We have colour coded ones now along with counter sunk ones where possible. We think this makes the overall MIP much nicer than having the stainless steel ones that stuck out a lot.

I think that what you are doing here is such a positive step forward for those that want professional looking parts at great prices in the UK without having to pay the heftier prices by the bigger companies that only think about their pockets and money all the time. Time is expensive and I hope you are rewarded for the time and effort you have put in to your sim hobby business and it will only get bigger as people spread the word (like on here/youtube). You definitely have the edge over many other companies not just because of your excellent panels and prices but for your 737 saitek throttle parts that no one else seems to do in the UK and the fact that you don't charge much for them. You will not be beaten by price, I will promise you that. Keep up the good work!

As to the saitek throttles I've yet to find another person doing them. We are currently working on the CH throttles at the moment. We have samples sent out to customers that are using CH once we have the correct fitment these will go into the production which will be exciting stuff!
Thanks for the positive feed back we really appreciate it! At least we know we are going in the correct direct!
Brilliant stuff , since i bought my last few goodies from you im now saving for the overhead might get you to make it for me tho , also do you have any plans to do a throttle too , i mean you got the handles sorted already , as everyones selling them very expensive this and your battle plan could be a seller .
regards Neil
Hey, Great stuff, I'm happy that we have satisfied you enough to keep coming back, That means we are on the right tracks with customer service and great quality products. With regards to the throttles yes that is one of our goals, We are aiming to end up with making and selling everything that's needed for a complete cockpit.Quote:
