G'Day from Melbourne, Australia.
Just getting into the swing of things, building a 737-800 cockpit :D
Have the flight yokes sorted (will post pics soon) and just taking on the FMC. (from marius circuits)
I have the room for the simulator all in order cleaned and ready to start on the frame, its going to be a long and challenging Goal to get it finished, but cant wait for the end result
Damien :cool:
G'day Damien and welcome. Another Aussie joins the fray ... woohoo!
I recognise that callsign :) ... VATPAC? VistaOZ?
All the best with your project ... you've come to the right place for inspiration and sharing.

Welcome Damien,
Good to see another aussie. Looks like we're taking over the forum ;)
I've been looking at that fmc circuit board from Marius. Have you actually got it yet? Really keen to hear how it performs. Please keep us posted.
cheers

Nice to see another 737 builder.
The more of us there are, hopefully the prices for 737 kits will drop.
Post some pics when you have them.
Hey lol, glad I could help :)
Cogs, chains, pipes, columns, springs ... mate I'm having nightmares. I wake up in the middle of the night shouting things like "more tension, more tension" and "the weld has broke" and "Tracy .. what are you doing in Paris?" :D
It's been a 3 week battle and still not completely finished. Let me know what challenges you're having and I'll see if my recent learnings can help.
