I'm sure that somewhere there is a ready to print model of modified flogger stick, I used it to make stick for flogger MLA

KPP design is almost ready, now only cosmetic aspects remain. Bugger gave me a lot of headaches...

Do you now how this switches are named exactly? Where they expensive?

Work slowed down, becouse I'm on my last year at uni, so have a ton of other work. Right now I'm designing KPP, NPP is next, and then all instruments would be ready. Also need to figure out wheter I'm going to mount panels to pit structure like in MIG, or like in other simpits. But yeah, project still going. Made some basic models for flight stick, and friend helped me with gas handle.

I thought I'd share final design of US-1600K ( essentially all one and 2 dial instruments will be the same, with different digit plates ), mechanical principle stays the same, just made design more elegant and practical.

Design of front left panel is completed as well as one and two dial instruments. The only thing that is stopping me from making it real is that I lost access to my 3d printer, so it will have to wait a little bit longer. I figured out the mechanical part of this design, now is the time for some electrical, and here I must ask for some help. My only experience in electrical is that i changed light bulbs few times . Every stepper motor has its driver incorporated into the design of the instruments. I plan on running everything on ardurinos, and here is my first question. How to manage that? How many ardurino boards can be connected to a computer, how to managed all that? Maybe best solution would be to get some knowladge on custom PCB design and making? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm also including a blueprint of US-1600K altimeter as a reference.

So, I started from scratch, with new better quality photos and much more experience. Some things will remain, but most of what I had designed, is to be redone. But work goes fast this time, and soon there will be more parts, this time as real objects...

Amazing work mate. Is there any chance that you could share 3d model or at least dimensions for lights that are over most instruments ( CB-2 ) ? I cannot find them anywhere...

US-1600K ASI is fully complete. There will be also a plate with motor drivers on top of a motors plate, but that is very simple part, so no need to show it in instrument assembly. Grey wheel on the back is for speed indication in thousands. Motors are 28BYJ stepper motors. Btw. Do you think that gears of red and grey wheels match good enough?

Small update. I've mostly completed this panel. Barometric alitmeter and SLM-61 are still not present. I'll not design SLM lights, becouse they are still av. on market and quite cheap. So new additions are: SW-1 (or CB-1) post lights. APM backlight Illuminated plate with texts, and exterlnal scale for radio altimeter. Whole panel looks like this right now. Now, that I've completed some elements that are shared between many instruments and panels, I hope that work will speed up a little.

@lesthegrngo @Vinc_Vega Thanks for support guys, it will help a lot. You received me so well, that I fell bad that I haven't posted any pics from the project. So There they are. So far There Is US-1600K speedometer, UISMIK altimeter, and empty space is for a BDI-30K altimeter, but I can't figure out so far how to design it. All will be running on arudrinos, but as long as I don't have complete panel I will not bother with that, at least until lights will be designed. Here are my cad design and pic from parts catalog of 23 MLA. Now I will try to figure out how to make BDI-30K and search for a lights, because they are named as "Lights" of different types in manual and I can't find them on internet. Also I plan to add metal sheet on top of printed base that you can see, 1-2mm thick to cover sides and for more authentic "fell" of my panels/ Btw, do you fell like it's a good thing to post how every element is made, exact designs of all instruments? I've planed to post full technical documentation after the project is complete, but I can also do WIP posts, posted with much smaller updates.

So it begins. I've managed to get a ton of technical exploitation books for couple mig-23 versions, including MLA, but sadly no technical drawings of the cockpit. Nontheless what I've got are schematics of cockpits and dimensions of a couple of instruments, which can give me what I need. It is much harder than with technical drawings but using scaling of schematics I can get this done. So far I have designed one panel, speedometer and radio alitmeter. This will be a long way, but it will be worth it. Given that I will not burn out in the middle

@Scott-S6 No I'm from Poland, we have some air museums but closest one that have MiG-23 is app. 500 km away so It would take me a long time till I can go there. Also our musems are not much into letting peoples into cocpits. I know about this 3d model, but I cant download it, so it's only for refference, It would be very usefull to get details that are not in technical documentation, but without it it's still all eyeballing.

I'm starting to make the simpit for the upcoming Flogger. I have access to an autocad, a 3d printer and help of my professors at uni. They got quite interested in my project. First problem that I have is the lack of any flogger cocpit blueprints that I know of. I have no idea how to get dimensions. Eyeballing or scaling everything is a nightmare. Any ideas on where to look for cocpit dimensions or manuals that will have at least an accurate cockpit blueprint so I can scale more accurately? Photos are no go, because they go well for a single instrument/panel, but for the whole cockpit it is a no-go.
