Some delays

Since a couple of days iam running in a delay. I have ordered the last switches from Opencockpits, but the order has not shipped until now. So i can only wait for the delivery from Spain than i can continue the wiring of the Overhead panel.

Status Update 2010

Today we have finished the support structure. The background is done with plexiglass and the structure with wood.

The picture shows a completed section (without indicators) built with all switches and the gauge. Each section has 3 layers.

Here a picture from the backlight test.

Support structure

Today we have started building the support structure. On this structure the Overhead will be mounted.

and we have built some switches into the modules.

I wish all cockpit builders and all readers of my blog a happy new year 2010 !

Stay tuned!

Overhead Kit

Last week i have received the Overhead 3D kit from opencockpits.

I have unpacked all single sections and put them togehter just for a photo.

I also received the Servo card and started programming the gauges via SIOC. APU Start and cooldown as well as the vertical speed is already working.

For the fuel temperature i have to play a little around during the next weeks.
