Some panels need little adjustments, but i love the results!!!

[Anderson/SBSP]

Hello my friend...

Congratulations on your super MIP, lots of people would like to be in your shoes right now!

Fantastic build and keep up the hard work!

Speak soon amigo!.....

Alex

[Joe Cygan]

This type of construction is extremely innovative and well engineered. I will go out on a limb here and say this is the future of home cockpit building for cost effectiveness and realism.

[Anderson/SBSP]

My friend make all design in coreldraw to cut in laser machine.

We play lego to mount all!! hahahaha

In the future he intent sell this project, i am the beta tester of his project!! hehehe

Thanks guys!!

Soon more news!!

[Anderson/SBSP]

Some news pics about my project.

[fsaviator]

I just checked out his site. Nice selection. I'm very impressed with the way he's made the wood panels all fit together on your cockpit though. Thanks for asking about the plans.

Please keep us updated on your project!

looking very very good

[capetonian]

http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu9/Anderson-SBSP/cockipt/P8130463.jpg

Any ideas on when these kists or the plans will be available for purchase? The ides of walking into a carpenters shop and walking out with a complete cockpit in pre routed bits is very appealing.

[Anderson/SBSP]

Thanks Capetonian!! I ask to my friend about sell this plans. He have a little shop in Brazil (www.brpanel.com.br), i am a test driver user!! hehehe

My cockipt is the first complete.

[Anderson/SBSP]

Some photos of the MCP and EFIS suport. My friend Marcos make a great job.

He made new knobs and backlight for MCP from Opencockipt.

Here a little video about my flap gauge, now finally work correctly.

[Tony Hill]

Anderson, outstanding work mate. You'll be finished in no time!!

Darryl

[Steve A]

Fantastic looking work my friend. I really like the modular approach you have used.

[Anderson/SBSP]

Thanks Guys!! I have a lot work to do!! hehehe

I ask my friend about the plans to cut, but he dont gave me a answer yet about this. But i still try.

Now he work in another idea for the MIP, much better and more realistic.

[Anderson/SBSP]

I create today a homemade suport for my 15pol monitor for Eicas e standy by gauges.

I receive from my friend 3 images about the project to pedals for the 737 cockipt. He draw in Solid works and make a prototype in aluminium. I look the prototype today and i love the results.

Now my MCP have a backlit, soon i post a video.

[Steve A]

A bit of a transformation on the mcp and efis, they look good, Did you make the knobs or buy them?
I wanted to backlight mine using kennairs tutorial but i dont have the confidence.
Looking very nice Anderson

[Anderson/SBSP]

Thanks Steve!!

I buy this knobs from BRPANELS (http://brpanels.com.br/br/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=7&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=51&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1) here in Brazil.

About the backilit the BRPANELS creat a simple PCB for this, and the results is good. Need some improvements and my mcp is a beta tester!! hehehe

If they finaly make the ajustments i post here about ok?

[nax228]

Looking really really good. I have just a little comment about the plate you mounted MCP and EFISes on to. This bracket is supposed to be black, not boeing grey.
almost did the same thing myself, but had a look at a few photos from airliners.net before i actually startet the paintjob.

These pedals look so cool. Hope the assembly works out as planned. I have a different approach, but have to think it through again after I recived my *REAL* pedals (footplates only). They are BIG.
Would love to get to look closer on these drawings. Please PM me if you want to share.

[Nick1150]

wow GREAT JOB MY FRIEND ;)

[choffmann]

Anderson,

I just came by your latest posts, and I must say, you´re doing a wonderful job!
Also, your cockpit blog site is very enlightening, it must be one of the best of the south american continent.
Please, let us know about the rudder pedal progress, the photos in post #30 look very promising.
Cheers
Chris

[Anderson/SBSP]

Thanks guys!!!

A hard work, low money, but i trust!! Someday i finish my cockipt!! hehehe

If i have news i post here.

Soon, my throttle!!!!

[Anderson/SBSP]

Hello friends, some photos of the MCP of the Opencockipts now with the lighting. I need made some improvements in PCB for the backlight, but the results is not so bad!!

I see you soon.

Very nice... love it.

[nax228]

Very nice work with the backlighting.
One tip for your EICAS screen... I see it's kinda gray. My screens had the same color, but I then bought sunfilm, the one they use for carglass. I cut a piece of thin glass and fixed the film to tah piece of glass and fitted that in front of the LCD. I now have pitch black on the screen where it's supposed to be black. The one called "Bronze" does the job best. I also tried one darker, but it was to much.
I did it on all my other screens as well, and it looks pretty damn cool. Had to adjust the settings on the screens, but the result is very black black :D

Not so easy to show by using my cellphone, but still...
