It's Black ABS Plastic (1/8") with a grain finish.
They are pre-molded to fit the seat correctly.
I still have several to sell.
The Seat Bottom and Back Molded from Black ABS are 79.95 plus shipping.
Thanks and let me know if I can help.

Hi Guys, Here is the Assembly of the Left Outer Cockpit section. The Right is the same, just reversed. Easy Cheesy :thumbup: The Left and Ride Sides start with the Rib Assemblies. Screwing a Side Support to each side of the Ribs in the Middle. The 2 End Rib stations only have Side Supports on the "INSIDE", as shown below. Once the Rib Assemblies are complete. Then Add in the Largest Rib Station in the Back. Work from Back to Front. This will keep the Ribs Tight and Square, Make sure the 2 END Rib stations are FLUSH like below. Then you can attached the "In between" Square Rib Supports and the Vertical Top Rib Supports as shown. Again, make sure the 2 End Rib Stations are FLUSH as shown below. Now you're ready to add the Outside Rib Lower Support. The "F-!6" cut out can be in the Frint or Back, your choice. Add on the Top Canopy Rail and your Left Side is Done! :thumbup: Repeat the procedure for the Right Side and your F-16 Center Tub and Outside Rib Stations are finished. The only thing left to do is cover them. I suggest covering them LAST, as, without the Skin, it's easy to access the Switches and Wiring. Also, I have been asked about all the Supports...if they are needed. When I designed the Tub and Outside Station Supports, I wanted it strong enough for you to climb in the cockpit over the Canopy Sills. This is why the extra supports are in place, to help bear the weight and lock the loads straight down to the floor. Heck, I can stand on the Canopy Sills and they hold me up, and I'm 200 lbs! I build the Cockpit from 3/4" MFD as its nice and flat, doesn't warp and super cheap compared to Plywood. You have to keep it dry and pre-drill all the holes. The choice is up to you though and you can use Plywood if you like. The next section is assembling the Aces II Seat Kit! It will be Easy Cheesy too :thumbup: Stay Tuned

Hello Stang! Do you have actual pics of how everything fits together? Does this at least include a rough layout of the side console panels? Would it be possible to have a version where the side ribs do not go to "realistic" height and instead just terminate slightly above or even flush with the side console panels? What is the thickness of the MDF/plywood used? Do you have a "instruction manual" that shows how the hip bone is connected to the leg bone, so to speak? You mentioned CNC, will this be compatible with guys that use laser cutters? Do you have any provisions for Cougar or Warthog HOTAS placement? Out of curiosity, are these your own work or based off the Viperpits work? Really cool stuff, I just might find the time to make this....

Hi, Ice, I have included build pics in this thread and there are more F-16 Build Pics HERE The Plans includes the Center Tub, Side Tubs, Aces II Ejection Seat, Small Glare shield, Center Pedestal. MIP, Side Panels, Small Panels (Fuel and Landing Gear), UFC Box and HUD Assembly. I am providing the CAD files so that anyone can customize them to fit their own needs. I am happy to help with this as time permits. The Cockpit is mostly 3/4" and the Aces II Seat is mostly 1/2". I use MFD because its flatter does not warp, and is easy to work with as long as you pre-drill your holes. You can use Plywood too, it's just more expensive. I have a pictorial instruction guide referenced in the pictures above and included in this thread via the 3D Models that depict assembly. CNC Routers and Lasers both use Polyline Vectors so the CAD file will work for both. The Cougar or the TQS can easily be placed on the left side console and the Flight Stick on the right with no issues. These plans are 100% my work. If you compare them to others you will see the difference. The one thing to remember is that Rib Stations must match the original Ribs or the Cockpit wouldn't look like an F-16. So, if someone draws up the Gun Faring Rib Station, it would have the same look and curve that anyone else, who draws up the exact same station does. ...assuming they both used the actual data. The real kudos for this go to General Dynamics for the original design. I'm happy to help with any other questions. Stang out Hello Stang! Do you have actual pics of how everything fits together?

Hey Nacman,
I don't keep a cockpit at the house as my space is currently very limited.
When I build one for someone, it's in the garage for a couple weeks depending on my schedule and then out to its new home.

How much to buy the plans? I have been looking for a good one to make my home cockpit. Yours looks very clean and easy to follow.

or we could just invest in a VR headset.... I own a few sets of VR goggles and I have built, flown and sold a full size 737 cockpit and about 25% of the way through building the F16 and another 737 MAX build. VR is cute, no where near touching hardware yet. It has a very long road to go

Agreed! Jskibo
It's the reason that the military doesn't use it.
Stang out I can confirm the defence company I work for provide VR hardware/software to the military for RAF and Navy training, it plays a massive part in modules for F35 pilots and T26 engineers/maintainers

VR is used by USAF as well however but is obviously only useful for training certain things.
It is next to useless where a pilot needs to develop muscle memory and operate the controls by instinct as required in any tense situation - that is where you need an actual pit.
