It is summer outside and not much is happening on the cockpit. At least no milestones but some small things has been going on.

First of all have have made a wooden base that everything stands on. This means that I (at some point) can do the wiring to things like the pedestal underneath the floor.

I have also found a used set of CH yoke, pedals and throttle at a bargin (on €100 total). So now I have two yokes and finally also a throttle.

My own throttle that I am building is progressing VERY slowly. I have finished the right side handle by now. Thats it…

Furthermore the plate on top of the EFIS/MCP just needs a layer of black paint. But when that was finished I could also make a small window frame.

Fianlly I have bought the app “AirDisplay” ($10) for my iPad. So right now I am using it as FMC, so that is what the white frame is for. It works so-so. It works but you need to be carefull where you press. As it just is a screen you can not feel the buttons, so you have to concentrate and aim when typing. And the is a small lag. But for now it is $10 instead of €300-400.

The picture below shows the cockpit right now. When I see it, it seems clear that I need to work a bit on the finish. A paintbrush here and there will do wonders. 🙂
