Wow, I like the idea.

Quite complex and high quality made and high possibility to personalize the layout for real instruments.
Light weight, better and more realistical then the wooden cockpit which has to be cut out also.

Would like to see the project spread.

Seems a bit excessive and bulky, but I must say the shot at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FOo2MR-wiQ#t=155
where the second monitor's is cropped to the gauges and has shadows moving across them seemed really immersive.

if the price was right, and they shipped you Instructions, Labeled and Pre-Printed Cardboard pieces, I'd consider it,

It'd be cheap, visually appealing, Lightweight and customize-able.

Otherwise, there are Workshop plans already all over the internet.
I'd use those and build one with plywood add castor wheels w/ brakes and airbrush the crap out of it smile

We just want to offer solution for people who has no time-money-skills to build cockpit from scratch. To Airbrush nice surface need talent and skills, if you leave professional airbrusher paint your shell, you'll probably pay more than for our cardboard cockpit wink. But enough theory, check short survey around our cockpit, I am trying to show that worries about weakness of cardboard are unfounded wink http://youtu.be/jgnl4KfCLKc

If you like it please support us to winn this battle, i'd be happy for any kind of support, comments,share,like,back etc..

Thanks a lot,
Lukas
