Dora left/right console and maybe more

I have installed electronic for basic axis . Lever is ready to install to pit, I have added FESTO dampers for end position set up and better behaviour in end positioning.

Installing electronic to throttle grip was challenge, but now is done and EZ42 wingspan adjusting is working like charm:thumbup:.

To throttle I have added two micro switches for position switch neutral-start.

That ends up being the most tedious part is wiring everything together. That box with the Leo's is a great idea tho. Mounting that under the seat or behind the dash?

Hi Elmo, all electronic will be installed In front of the pit (in place of MG131s). It will be better for easy access.

[RAZBAM_ELMO]

Great idea

[draken152]

Small progress, plug for throttle is attached. I am using those yellow cables for better vintage look:pilotfly:.

[hansangb]

Man, I admire your craftsmanship!

[RAZBAM_ELMO]

Are you using a pot or a hall for the throttle axis?

Hall on all axis, it is soldered to pcb what you can see on last pictures. Also you can see magnet with arrow on the end of shaft.

 

hansangb: thank you...

Drake you mind actually taking a pic in more detail and pm it to me with how you built this perhaps? Thanks.

Simply amazing work. Well done!

 

Can I ask what CNC you're using? I've recently bought a Optimal BF20LV and the conversion kit is on it's way. Can't wait to start building my own sim gear.

[draken152]

Some detail of hall sensors assembly for Elmo.

To CoderX71: Thx. I dont have my own CNC, most part are laser cut by my friend...

Consoles are in final positions, seat assembled... Ohh yes I have been sitting inside for while :pilotfly:

[NeilWillis]

Outstanding work. When can you deliver mine? :thumbup:

[draken152]

I am working like hell :doh: on rudder pedals mechanism. Current status - whole mechanism is assembled and I am just waiting on rudder pedals, then I will mount electronic…

 

To NeilWillis: 10 years and more :music_whistling:

[draken152]

Still waiting for pedals, in between I have assembled buttons and other stuff to right console... Also starter mechanism is prepared for painting and buttons assembly. Lot of soldering is coming:helpsmilie:…

[MFG62 Joker]

Wow,

I mean: simply wow!

 

This is really great stuff!

[draken152]

Thanks a lot man:worthy:...

 

Starter is ready for assembling. Some airbrush work in progress.:music_whistling:

[Lobinjaevel]

As always, impressive work, outstanding!

[draken152]

Thanks to all of you guys... Gear – Flaps button box ready to mount. This is original part for comparing....

[draken152]

Ups here is my work:music_whistling:

[Krupi]

Impressive as always :D

[draken152]

Thank you Krupi.

So all soldering and wiring is done, I have also prepared connections for parts what are not already mounted. I still don’t have the pedals, but rudder mechanism is mounted and working like charm. Some small adjustment in axis force is needed, but it is already flyable:pilotfly:.For start I am using older TV.

 

Still lot of work need to be done :doh:

[RAZBAM_ELMO]

Definitely getting close to the final version

… again after longer time.

 

I was testing and flying a lot, so now few things are clear for me. Damping of grip and pedals is too soft, in grip I must change springs and on pedals improve the connection to rotary dampers.

 

I was also not satisfied with RLM 76 paint so I have started repainting with MR.PAINT (I am using them on aircraft kits) using late war RLM 76. In my opinion it is looking much better.

 

Also some another input devices are ready to install. Magneto switch, Fug 25 switch (this is just dummy)…..
