Hi everybody,

I'm trying to make my own 737 NG cockpit and till now I spend about 15 euros and 4 hours time.
Offcourse I allready had an VR Insight MCP Combo I (100 euros second hand) and a old Acer Laptop and last but not least a MSI GT70 OD. But I think the result up till now is pretty nice.

Screws and woodglue

To do:
Fill in yawdamper and flapindicator-gauge (dummy)
Make a bevel for the clock

Just finished :

- Yawdamper and Flapindicator gauge
- Clockbevel
- Painted the screws

Ready to play and see what I can think of for the future.

I saw a very nice throttle quadrant for about 600 euros. Let's start saving money.
