Not much to update lately, but there have been some progress. Firstly I have switched my cockpitsoftware. Just before christmas I tried the Prosim737 suite, and this is a much better choice for me. I belive this software is going to be the preferred one by most 737-800NG builders in the years to come. If you havent tried it, DO SO!
For the first test I didn't unplug or rearranged any hardware or computer setup. The software was installed in the matter of munutes and configuration to get it going was also done very quick.

Regarding the dual yokes I have encountered quite some problems, but it will be up and running within the next 3 weeks. My girlfriend is traveling to china and will return in 3 weeks. She did not want the assembly in the kitchen when she returns With her out of the house I can also dedicate more time to build, so it should be OK.
The gas struts that I thought was strong enough wasn't after all... by far. I haven't sorted out how to do this best, but will try another solution this week. The gas truts will remain cuz they made the movement soft. The aileron movement is done and worked out fine.
A few pics from the process:
The basemodule with yokes


Flywheels for aileron movement:


Flywheels in place:


Gas struts mounted:


overview:


On this last picture I hadn't cut the MDF that interfere with the wire. It's done now.
The wire runs two times around the flywheels and is secured wit epoxy on the inside. You also see the connetors from the buttons on the yokes. These are ready to be connected to the BU086x card. I will parallel couple the wires so that any action on eighter yoke will preform the tasks.

Soon to be updated!!

I was really just trying to write with fontsize 77... didn't work

a few more days... a few weeks at tops ... then bact to flying


You won't understand what i'm talking about on this video, but you'll get the basic idea behind it.
Could not find a good solution for the elevator springs/centerpoint, so i will just have to deal with that later on. The struts and the nylon gascets make the feel quite ok anyway.
