Please send PM if you have this item or use the e-mail attached in my profile.
Will only buy from registered members at mycockpit or their trusted friends.
Thanks
Ivar H.
Sounds like a challenge for Phil ;) (phil744)!!!
Those are a lot nicer that those aboard the 727.
Have already involved Phil some time ago when I supplied him with measurements and photos for the map-light panels:) But the shape is the tricky part here. Should have a original panel first to make a mold or something:) Then Phil could use his magic hands and tools to make it right;)Quote:

Hmmm...... Doesn't seem to be too hard to make a replica out of MDF, if you don't want to be able to yank the mask up, that is. A dummy would be relatively easy to make.
As for the rest: I am really thinking about building a vacuuforming machine. You could do a lot with such a device...
Actually thanks for the photo Ivar. Just what the Doctor needed to be able to reproduce such a thing.
Thanks a bunch...

There are two things I would like to be able to make:
1. good instrument glasses, so the instrument glass is IN FRONT. Not behind the panel...
2. The two air condition handles on both sides of the MIP. The handles is easy, but the thing they're fastened to...
And of course there is items such as some lining parts, the eyebrows and so on...
I'd like to be able to make interior panels.
Though I don't think I'd be too good at making molds for the vacu-forming process.
Hey Mike,
You gonna start making interior moldings panels make some for my A340 lol :) Lord only knows Im no good at it :)

Someone start making replicas right away;)
Lots of talking in this thread, but still no goodies for me:lol:. At least we are having fun:D, while I suffer in need of rare parts:mrgreen:
Yeah, you're reeeeeeaaaaaally suffering there, Ivar. Really! I am sooo sorry for you...
:D :D :D
IVAR!!
You list 14mm in the one measurement, and 18mm in the other, is that a Type O?
Trev
You can get the REAL stuff cheap for the 727. I got a complete set for 300.00!!!Quote:

I want it all, hehe:D Please someone ship me a complete aircraft:lol:
It would be very nice with original oxy panels. But repro will do:)
If you can find it. I've been after Nick for six mobths for an eyebrow trim panel. I have a piece of ceiling panel on the way from Bill (batcat) that goes above the eyebrow trim, but that's aboout all I've seen lately.Quote:

So for those interested I can copy the 2 top latches from both sides and also the smaller parts attached to it as the rest is just a container that holds the oxygen mask which by the way is obviously not a thing that can be copied.
The only thing is that I am only able to do so if there is enough interest in these units so for a couple it wont be realistic to make 4 moulds and also way too expensive but if there is enough interest the possebility is there.
please let me know again for those that are interested.
Thank you
Nihad
well I for one would be interested nihad !
Stef
Very cool Nihad
I am interested as you might guess:D
I think that if you decide to make some items and when they are available, everybody wants to have it. A very important item to get a complete looking cockpit.
:)
count me in...
Hi, I will be investing in this or something similar in the future so price and spec. permitting i would be interested.:)
I think the interest in this part is there and so will start on it this coming week will get back on the subject when I have something to show.
Nihad
yep.. you can count on me as well :-)
Hi all,
The panels are here and will get the material this week and hopefully I will have 1 made this weekend or early next week.
Nihad
Sure is looking forward to see the pictures:)
I have bin examening the 2 doors on how to copy them exactly and they will come with hinges so it will be made out of 4 pieces but on 1 of the doors ( the part with the white arrow) is a sort of push button and that part will be copied as is so no functionality there is that a problem? making it functional means it wil need much more parts like bearing ,spring and some other small parts which obviously will take more time and finding these parts might prove impossible so for a part that will not be used I guess copying it without functionality is smarter agree?
Nihad
Absolutely.
Hopefully I dont ever need the oxygen mask in the simulator, so the non-functional replica sounds like a good deal to me:)
Detailing is here more important than functionality.
:)
I envy your cat Ivar and hope he appreciates this great Cockpit of yours as the rest of us do. Lucky flight-cat.
Certainly not to add more fuel on the fire here but I might as well add my name to the list of vendors whom are making these pieces. I was actually asked a while ago by someone to create this panel.
I will have two models for this oxygen piece (brown or gray). One will be a simple cost affective unit and the other one will be a higher end model with vacuum-formed pieces.
This must be exciting for the homebuilder to have so many choices of vendors to chose from.
Joe
Very good Joe.
We are getting really spoiled here now:D
The community will have several oxy-panels to choose from. It just cant get better than that:)
Looking forward to see your pictures also:)
My cat is actually a "she":grin:Quote:
