New Domain – please update your bookmark !

Today I have activated a new domain for my homecockpit blog:

737cockpit.info

as the old free domain was not working for several days.

Please update your bookmark accordingly.

1st pedestal test

Today I have connected the pedestal to my cockpit.

In the first short test only the PnP OC Modules have been tested.

The other modules are not yet connected, but will be wired during the next weeks.

Caution – wet paint!

Today I have finished the painting for my pedestal.

The Pedestal in painted in RAL9002 and RAL7011. The modules will be built in starting next week. Also next week the announciators will be wired as well as the switches.

Pedestal progress

Today we have built in the structure.

Tomorrow it will get painted the first time.

Pedestal started

Today I have started to work on the pedestal.

This will be the main pedestal “box”.

And this structure will hold later on the fire control panel.

It is planned to continue on Thurdsday to build in the holding compartments for the modules and when it’s time enough to start painting in RAL9002 the first time.

Update will be posted for sure 🙂 Stay tuned.

Dimming the PFD with SimAvionics

Today I have tried the feature of dimming within the SimAvionics Software.

Here a short video.

It was only a first try, But I will focus to continue the pedestal.

Pedestal modules

Those modules will be built into the Pedestal.

Not on the photo is the XPDR Module, because this is currently built into the cockpit and will then finally be moved to the pedestal.

Gear Leveler finished

After painting the gear leveler the last days, today I have built it into my Cockpit.

I made also an Video with a short demo:

Next week it will receive the correct colour to be than built into the MIP.
