kaiserb_uk Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 For the last 3 years of IL2 I've been thinking about building an Aker-Barnes but actually using this: BlackShark, and an imminent collective mod from Urze has forced me to come up with something a bit better. I already had the MDF, and an hour on Google Sketchup produced this: The hardest part of any build - starting. But soon had the main pieces cut: I had help obviously: Assembled, sealed and a can of Halfords car primer later... The rear access panel for the sub woofer: The business end: Still a little bit of tweaking required to get it just right, but seems pretty good so far! And a nice feeling of "I made that" :D 3

Flim Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 can you release your sketchup file? I looks good! Are the controls at the right height?
kaiserb_uk Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Well it really was a sketch, just to get the concept right in my head. I wouldn't call it a 'plan' of any sort. As for the heights of the controls - the throttle is about perfect. The stick is a little low - I really need an extension for the Cougar. Mounting the stick platform at the right side it's a bit too far back for comfort. I'm going to resolve that in the near future. We'll see how the rear left platform is when the collective comes. (can't wait!) Putting the sub inside the back was a master-stroke though, the explosions in BS are brilliant!
