Recommended Posts

Hey guys.

 

I've posted a little, read a LOT from these forums. I wish I had done a better job chronicling my pit build, but I was finally able to scratch together some footage.

 

Check it out, if you have any questions or comments, feel free. I can talk about this stuff all day!!

Very nice!

 

I particular enjoyed seeing the planning process and your thoughts being making the 'pit like that. It's also nice to see a very individual pit creatively squeezed in to a pretty small space. Cosy. :-)

 

(The dust covers are an excellent idea too. I love the flight tags on them...)

Thank you for spending time puting the videos together. Time and time again, I am gobsmacked by the ingenuity of peeps on the forum and the way they are happy to share with the cockpit building community.

 

Kudos m8, love the keyboard on the wall but I'm totally in limbo atm as I don't have surrounding walls, so where can I put a keyboard.?

 

There is one or two on the forums that may come up with a suggestion but I'd rather not go there. :megalol:

Great videos. Looking at how you've utilised that small space got me thinking about building a cockpit with the monitor on the ceiling and the seat lying on the floor, as I have plenty of wasted vertical space in my room. I'd even have the feeling of being pressed back into the seat that way and the fear of being killed when it all collapses on top of me :)

I actually like that idea, a lot! I love the idea of using the wall as cockpit "floor" - gonna make pulling Gs fun, especially reaching *up* to manipulate controls. Maybe use an angled monitor bracket mounted to the wall rather than the ceiling for safety? Or an HMD (if it suits the aircraft you want to fly)?

 

Please try this... and start a build thread on it. :)
