Hi everybody,
Since last monday I have decided to embark on that ambitious project many of you have as well.. home cockpit building!
I am Dutch, however, I live with my wife and daughter in Slovenia.
For my project I decided to go for a 'as realistic as possible' 747 cockpit, within a certain budget of course. I am not setting a time frame.. I will see how it progresses as I go along. If its 1 year or 4.. fine! As long as I can be proud and content with the end result. Because in the end its about the flying!
Right now I am very early stage, nothing physical has been build. I am planning, checking out the available space, cockpit dimensions (if you have info on 747 cockpit / panel dimensions please let me know!) etc.
If I have all that I will proceed with a schematic for the shell, and take it from there.
Its going to be great adventure, thats for sure!
