I just wanted to say Hello to everyone,
I'm a simmer as long as I can think, I started up with the FS on the Commodore64 at the time, and it didnt let me off ever since. I Started my cockpit just a little while ago, though.
I'm building a very well supported 738 flightdeck.
So here I am, and so god (wife) will, Im here to stay ... ;)

Another one bites the dust! WELCOME to the sucker hole! I call it that because once you drop in to it there is normally no turning back! 738 is a good ac to build even if you don't use all the off the shelf stuff. Mine (700) is a misfit of a bunch of stuff I had lying around but it is SO much fun to fly. All we require for you to belong here ( not really but we like) are pictures of your project regardless of what stage you are at. Someone can always learn from what you are doing. There is always a better way to do things and with all the knowledge that is gathering here at this site, we should be able to get just about any project off the ground, or un stuck! Again we hope you enjoy your stay!

Welcome to the community. Can't think of anywhere, anyone building a pit would rather be. When I started with my pit 3 years ago, these boys were around to help one way or the other. I hope we can pass the torch along to the next batch of pit builders.
Keep us posted on your progress, and please feel free to join in the conversations with your experiences.
Best regards,
Trevor Hale and the rest of the Mycockpit.org Team

It has been a while since my last post, when I was in the planing stage of my project. This is an update, to where I am now with my project. The MIP is from Engravity, so is the MCP. the stand and P9 are home made and the trottle is from Cockpitsim.

Little by little the whole thing comes together. The Gearl lever is ordered already, so are the clocks.
