Gear Leveler Update

Today we have nearly finished the gear leveler.

A picture from all single used parts in the leveler:

All parts built together:

Testing in the MIP (of course it will be painted black):

The video below shows the movement. We have 2 pipes. The smaller runs in the bigger one and is on the back spring loaded.

And another technical thing: The Website is now also optimized for mobile devices such as Android, iPhone, etc.  Just take a look from your mobile device 🙂

Pedestal Status

Today I can give you some more details to my pedestal project.

I have ordered the following parts and their are already on the way to me. Hopefully they will arrive during next week.

The modules are: 1x WXR Panel

1x Cargo Fire Panel

2x Audio Panel

as soon as they are in my hands I can start planning “the box” around.

Furhtermore the following parts will be ordered in the near future: 1x NAV, 1x COM and Fire Panel for the pedestal. This will give me a full operational pedestal. The ADF unit will be a little bit later also the 2nd COM and NAV unit will be bought later.

Some Photos will be posted as soon I have the hardware with me.

Gear Leveler

Today we started with the gear leveler construction.

1st finished part was the main leveler. You can pull it forward and it will get pulled back automatically with the built in spring.

The 2nd parts we got were the two side panels. Between those the Lever will be mounted.

Next week we will continue the work. When its finished the lever will get painted in black.

Overhead structure finished

Today my wife was fabulous and helped me with the black fabric that will cover the overhead structure.

The fabric was mounted with a velcro so it can be removed when needed to access the controller cards behind.

Thanks again my honey 🙂

Next steps will be to build the Gear Leveler and during winter maybe the throttle.
