Re: Cessna 172 simpit glareshield
Brilliant mate, I live in Basildon.
I am building a Cessna 150, but on a budget, and have no space for the sim, so it's just a desktop sim for now that is setup when I want to fly and packed away when I dont.....
Nice to meet ya pal....AlexGA or the Highway!

Re: Cessna 172 simpit glareshield
my budget kind of went out of the window on this but if I get it done before the bailiffs arrive then all is good
If all goes to plan then this will be an instructor cockpit for Southend Airport. I will give you a shout when it is done so maybe you could pop up and have a fly? Maybe get a real flight too? Sometimes the pilots are in a good mood

Re: Cessna 172 simpit glareshield
That sounds excellent my friend,
I have had a few trial flights at Southend, not much in the log book mind, I fly my sim out of Southend quite a bit.
Please feel free to contact me when it's up and running, you know that a local is always willing to visit, and a real flight would be superb, not flown GA in a while for real, I could chip in on fuel maybe?
Congrats on the build, superb quality.
Stay in touch.
AlexGA or the Highway!

100 Euros cheaper than Simkits listed price.
Simkits price dont include tax and extortionate courier charge. Expect to pay near on 500 Euros for the simkit version once all the additional costs are added.

Re: Cessna 172 simpit glareshield
Simkits are a joke with their pricing, totally not good value for their products, I had their gauges, and what you get for you money is VERY little.

Re: Cessna 172 simpit glareshield
Remember prices that are displayed on US sites are also without taxes and shipping.
The total costs will exceed Simkits.
And as you know Alex I`m not sharing your view
I`m waiting on a new CCU2 and warningpanel from a Mycockpit fan,
this will complete my search for the Simkits instruments for my Cessna set up.
