I told her about all the comments and she is quite flattered. smile

I'll post more pics of the put once I actually "finish" it. I still need to add a few things and stain/paint it.

You know I frequently, lurk thru threads where there might be the odd interesting bits and as I scrolled through endless pics of modest cockpits amazing bits of kit work and then i got to Walkers..
now the photos are big so I've quite a bit of scrolling to do there's the office, a couple views of that and it's nice. Then we got the left side and of course the right, reverse angles on both, oh and a mess of wires, well I must say he's proud of his project, I kind of like to have something like that in my own man-cave,Then Oh no, not more pics.Oh my.. gaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wd!
I'm speechless that is soo historical, the man has got him his own WAAC!
Keep your spitfire and F-16 cockpits I gotta build me one of them!

The Dudley Multi-Sim Pit is ALIVE!
I am happy to announce that I gave birth to a 700 pound baby simpit this weekend!




Construction is complete, painting is accomplished, and re-assembly has commenced. All of the big stuff is attached, and this weekend I will start with the electronics. My next move is to start on the actual switch panels and wiring. Hopefully it will move along faster than this part has so far.

It supports all three modes of any good multi-sim pit:

Plane mode


Helo mode(The collective will go into the space accessible once the throttle is rotated out of the way. I still have to build the collective too!) sigh


Car mode


If you want to see a time lapse of the assembly and some other pics, go to: http://cnadeau.webs.com/simpitbuild.htm

I know I still have a ways to go, but I want to thank all of you who have posted to this thread. It provided a lot of motivation and ideas for me to make it to this point.

@Walker450: I noticed your stick and throttle are coming at an angle away from your chair. Was there a specific reason you chose to have them sort of "twisted" outwards as opposed to facing forwards? I'm sort of struggling with a hotas placement issue so I sort of noticed that right away.
