Building a Cessna 172 Cockpit

[jsfboat]

Usually bending plexiglass is done with heat. There are plans to build an oven to warm the plexiglass. Make your pattern, with the curves, make a plaster mold of it, or even use wood with pool felt in between then warm up the plexi, insert between the molds (either of wood or the plaster), clamp and let cool. This is how we did it on the Avenger restoration I worked on.

This is kind of off topic, I have a 1963 172d and would like to find the dash template. Does anyone know where I could find it?

Templates are not available. You will have to go a maintenance company who will source the parts in question. If this is for simulator use then you will have to custom build it. If the nature of your question is for maintenance of your aircraft for real flight then contact a maintenance company!

Hi, I love the shock absorber for the throttle. Do you find that you have enough play with with it though? Before it bottoms out?

Many thanks

Do you have plans wrote down with dimensions of the cockpit

Hi everyone. I am currently building on a Cessna 172 cockpit. Maybe some of you may know my website, S&S-Repaints - Your Source for HD-Textures! or Cessna 172 Sim Project

Yesterday I created the GPS panel by "Frontplattendesigner". It is a tool to create panels. They will be cut by SchaefferAG.

Here is a screenshot of the panel:


It is designed to fit for a 7" tft monitor and the button caps of emuteq's GPS. The encoders i will use are from Leo Bodnar.

Here is a short preview of the frame itself:


And an image of the throttle(s):


That is all at the moment, will post more when it is going on
