Are the side consoles 5.75" or 4.75? I ask because I've seen both widths. (My F-15 has both sizes actually).

I did have a tandem cockpit on my list....

I designed the side panels with the assumption that they were based on the MS25212 milspec.

DZUS holes every .375"
Backmount Al plate .040"
Light Plate Thickness .230" +- .023" (I use .25" plexi)
Light Plate .047 +- .016" smaller length and width than backmont plate

You're right though, I've not taken a ruler to the panels though. Note to self. This summer take a keychain measuring tape with me to the McConnell AFB open house. I'd take a mic and caliper but the gatecheck at airshows would probably wonder what the heck those tools were lol.

At one time I was considering building a T6A because more information is available than on the PC-9M. Then I just couldn't fit all the instruments onto the panel using LCD screens. So it was back then to the PC-9M.

This T6B looks great however. It reminds me of the PC-21.

The T-6 assembly line is located a few miles away from where I live. I've pondered getting a job at Hawker-Beechcraft, but have only worked at a few machine shops around town that subcontract to them and other places in Wichita. Also pondered Spirit Aerosystems, they do the 787 and 737 here.
