I am in the process of interfacing. It is a slow process, but MAN it's fun!
I am using overhead panels from FlyEngravity, interface boards is the SYS boards from FDS. Electronics comes from ELFA (http://www.elfa.se/), and the frame is home made.
The various knobs I use is described here (http://www.fagerjord.org/cockpit/index.php?id=thingys).

I will update the webpage during the next weeks. I hope the interfacing is done this week. Then I can hang the thing from my ceiling and take it for a flight! :cool:

The annunciators are beautiful when I light'em up! Images to come within a week or so!

That is absolutley cool. It is always neat to see other people work. Especially when it is so much better than mine!!!!

Nice work! How much does it weigh?

[vidarf]

James: Thank you, but I will guess that your work is very impressive too! Not that mine is...

The weight? Don't know, but I'm guessing in the area of 5-10 kilos. But I am not good at guesstimating...
