Cockpit frame dimensions

Im thinking of adding a circular forward frame rail to my Jedi Pit

may not be the correct term, where the SHOOT lamp is on a F15 or the mirrors would be on the A10....

just a rough estimate of diameter or radius, it won't be accurate, but i'm thinking of adding a spitfire like rear view lcd or real mirrors for people sneaking up on me in flight

just thought id ask, im looking at building a curved screen eventually and looking at cutting curved ring parts from MDf got me thinking of cockpit frames and real HUDs.....

This is the canopy bow drawing for a Spitfire..

thanks mate, nice one

(Im a brit so im legally allowed to say "mate")

Just.....you will have to go through a whole summer here without groaning about the heat before we fully take you in

The local wildlife will probably kill him long before he's had the opportunity to complain about the heat.

Hehehehehehehehe yup

i've just gone thru a Phoenix AZ summer with no air con in the car.....i know about heat

and technically we came up with "mate" first

We can adopt you for that :)Need to learn how to drink our beer though

XXXX and Fosters? not much to learn after London Pride

We have much much better beers than Fosters (the beer we give everyone else) and XXXX (cant spell beer)
Hope to see some pics of your Jedi pit.I,m a bit retro and have been designing up the control columns for all the Star Wars space vehicles..

What is that from?

g.

Its one of two designs for the full sized shooting cockpits of the Xwing from the Star Wars films.This one was only seen in a deleted scene..

That's pretty hard to pull any detail out of.

I'd love to build a Mk I Viper cockpit one of these days...

g.

Its on the list

That's an OV-10A grip innit? WAAAAAAAH!

Fortunately the Mk I Viper I've got in mind is the "new" BSG version and doesn't have unobtainium flight controls.

g.

Yep but its not mine..LOL just some good reference info I got from a friend who just bought himself a cockpit off one.
New BSG Viper stick is a Saitek or Thrustmaster I think.Have some pics somewhere..
