After lurking around here for a few months, have finally decided to make my first post.
I've been around the hobby for many years and have been accumulating parts, ideas and general junk, whilst awaiting that opportunity to move onto actually constructing something.
I am currently stripping out a flightdeck of an EMB110 (OY-MUA) which was scrapped back in 1999. I've owned this since 2000, but with life and work placing various obstacles in my path, I have never really had the opportunity to progress the project, until now.
As with many things in life, plans change. Whilst I originally hoped to convert the flightdeck into a sim, that is now not a possibility, primarily due to a recent house move and subsequent lack of space. The flightdeck is currently at my parent's house in my father's shed/workshop - he needs the space for his retirement project.
Instead I am currently removing all the useable parts, and believe me there are many, to use in a single seat generic turboprop/RJ sim that I am currently designing, which will be constructed in a spare room in our flat.
Below are a few pictures of the flightdeck of OY-MUA....
First Pic was the condition the flightdeck was received in. Second pic shows the stripping process. Things have moved on slightly, with the capts control columns having been removed.
