Deadman's A-10 C Cockpit Build

Many Thanks for app the panels pict it is great info, and man great work with knobs !!!

looking forward to get me set.

You will have the most amazing pit of all, Sir!

On a second thought..get your thread outta here!

That is aircraft restoration...not cockpit building! :D

great job!:thumbup:

Thanks I am working on it. I would restore a cockpit but I have missed out on the ones sold so far I think regrettably they have been scraped.78-0599 and 76-0512 were both sold out of Clearfield, UT about a year ago. I never found the company the bought them and the other air frames

I'm working some designs and I am looking for the panel heights. I haven't done an exhaustive search in the forums - but did you ever post the panel heights anywhere? It would be really helpful if you could post what heights you have.

Right now I'm working on the oxygen regulator and lighting panels.

Thanks

Hi John in the past on the form it was decided that blue prints or actual part information had little to no value, so I have not spent my time measuring panels with a caliper. I have made some HOTAS covers, ACES II decal sheets, and now sets of knobs for other pit builders. If enough people wanted panel drawings it may happen thanks DM

Okay - thanks.

I'll eye-ball it for these designs best I can.

there is documentation all ready posted on panel design and width(5.75). All of the panels are made in 0.375 increments for height look in MS25212 Basic Panel i have posted for you before

Yes i've got that info. I thought maybe i might have missed some dimensioning info in the forums. I was looking for something simple like: the oxygen reg panel is x inches high.

:-)

back plate is 3inches light plate is 2.93.

IMHO you can find one in good shape on eBay for around $35.00 to $50.00 and the spot is filled much cheaper. Than spending more money and time building :)

Thank you for the info.

I've not found any A10 panels on eBay - I'll keep looking.

Well A-10 panels are some of the rarest panel you will find. Some though are common to other aircraft so still affordable for example the O2 panel CRU 73A , IFF panel C6280A (P) APXAC , Intercom panel,Secured Voice panel KY 58 ,and TACAN Panel ARN118 V are reasonably price for the most part. The panels and instruments that are common between the A-10C and F-16 on the other hand will cost you dearly the radios AN/ARC 164 and AN/ARC 186 are very difficult to find and fairly expensive. The CMSP/EWMU panel well I have been looking for one over a year. that is part of the fun you never know what you will find :thumbup:

Thank you for the info.

Thanks, DM. Much appreciated.

HI Mike your welcome I have a few more I will post soon

Hey mate,

Great to see you're still going with this :)

Great looking instruments DM. I'd definitely like to get my hands on a few of those. Even if I couldn't get them to work in the sim until I'm old and grey (which isn't that far off),it'd be great to see those in a pit.

Did you get the ARU-42A ? I posted in the

eBay heads up good price and no shipping restrictions
