| Most of today was spent experimenting with various scrap solutions for the cockpit layout, not many photos and lots of thinking time....
.
The first half was spent with the quadrants, the second half with the new switch bar that we are hoping to use beneath the main panel. | |
| It took a couple of revisions to come up with a side panel that I think will work. I'm getting used to knocking up a CAD drawing and then prototyping from that. This is an enjoyable aspect of the project - not following any particular 'standard' plan and developing the custom aspect of the aircraft. It does however eat time at an alarming rate - but it will be worth it. | 
|
| This is the current best revision, the cross-member with the switches / breakers etc will go behind and be riveted to it and along the bottom will be a piece of strengthing 1/8" angle which will also provide the mount points for the quadrant cables - or at least that is the plan at the moment. |
