CDU Bay

Today we have prepared the CDU bay. Tomorrow we will finish it.

The delivery from Opencockpits is still missing, so we can’t continue the Autopilot panel or the MIP panels.

Monitors built in

Yesterday we have finished building all the 3 monitors into the MIP.

On the Left hand side a 19″ Monitor for PFD, EICAS is done with a 15″ and the F/O PFD is a 17″ one.

The front plate of the EICAS is also ready 🙂

change of the project scope

Hello all,

During the last days I have decided to expand my project. I have found many articles from other cockpit builders who have built a MIP (Main Instrument Panel)  based on wood. It will be a many handwork to do but cheaper than buy one and much more interesting :).

During the next weeks I will have to look around what material it should be and make some drawings.

LCD update

The last weeks I was playing around to get the USB LCD Card working. After 2 diaplays and a l ot of wiring and re-wiring suddenly it worked. I don’t know until know where the issue was..

The LCD shows the electric panel of the Boeing 737-800. The display will be build into the overhead during the next weeks.

I also triggered a Welcome mesage on the LCD, when the Battery switch in in off position
