Category: Pedestal

Today I have built in the painted pedestal covers.

These have the measurements of the missing modules from Opencockpits, so that the modules can be replaced easiliy once I have them.

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.

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.

Today we have built in the structure.

Tomorrow it will get painted the first time.

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.

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.

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.
