Hey fellow builders, I have just finished adding the captains side window and some cosmetics to the center windshield post. The angles for the captains window are not 100% accurate but will give a good feel I believe.

The center windshield post cover was somewhat of an experiment. I fly seaplanes in the Whitsundays I have access to the engineers wonderful tools in the maintanance hangar! (Lucky me I know)! I bent some old aluminium into shape to see if I could reach a better result than just mdf. I think it works quite well, however in this instance I have the middle section of the post 2cm too thick. I will eventually redo that part and make that middle section 2cm instead of 4cm.

Hey Drew

That's looking real good. Keep us posted with your progress. Using a piece of aluminium for the center post is a great idea .... I was wondering what to do about that myself.

Did you get my panel config files that I sent you back in Aug per your email?

Regards,
Henry

Gday Henry, thanks for that and yes I did get your cfg filewhich is awsome. I was hoping to fit the standby gauges in there somewhere too so I might have to do a bit of tweaking:).

I will keep you updated.
