Category: Cockpit sections

Three days ago I have received the gauges (duct press and vertical speed) from Opencockpits.

As the built in servo motors are quite loud on holding position, I have changed them to another type. Within 3 hours all 3 servos were replaced and ready to be built in. During the weekend I want to implement the gauges in the overhead panel. A video will follow once they are working.

Yesterday we have installed an additional support strucutre to the overhead.

And a panel for all the controller cards.

Yesterday the reading lights in the overhead where installed. The photo shows the FO side. A photo with turned on lights will follow.

Today I have mounted the overhead cover on both sides of the overhead. In the next days I will paint it with RAL7011 color.
Next step will be installing some reading-lights to the overhead as well as the gauges.

During the weekend we have mounted the overhead into his final place. We archieved another importmant milestone during the cockpit project.

All systems are working well. Only the LCD display lost 2 connections, but this can be resolved during the next days.
In the following weeks we will continue to work on the overhead construction.

Here a nice shot from some wires on the back of the overhead.
