Hansolo Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Dm, quick question. What is the fifth handle on the picture? Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
Deadman Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Hans that is not a handle. It is the mounting bracket for the Aux LG Ext Handel so it will slide and work as the original except for the push to unlock I have not found a reasonable price mechanism to use so it will be aluminum rod.The Aux Lg Handel will all so have a return spring as the original and a pin to activate a switch. All you guys will need to do is paint it . https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Duckling Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hi DM. Cold weather and numb fingers keep the builder at bay ? Know the pain of cold weather but its the opposite stats here. Used to be real ugly this time a year but we're above 0 in february and almost no snow at all. Sound we exported it westwards ;-) Go easy on it. It will (hopefully) get warmer Cheers Gus - - - -
Deadman Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 well my brother made fun of me for being a wimp. So I did the pedal release Handel and most of the Emergency brake the temp in the garage was a cozy 0c I will post some pictures later https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Deadman Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Well I finished casting tonight and got a few other things double checked every thing seams to fit in the left console I still need to draw out the AN/ARC 210 I thought i had finished but can not seam to find. That will complete the left side along with some blank filler panels. I don't have a Thrust master Warthog throttle so I am not sure how I will adapt the left console to mount one. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
donbinator Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Deadman, I never saw for sure what you are using as rails? I'm having a heck of a time finding something that will work and isn't really really really expensive. I was going to do the whole aluminum L bracket thing but I would much rather have something more sturdy and with holes already in the right places...
Hansolo Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Deadman, you want me to try and make a drawing with measurements of the throttle like what was done for the stick base? I need to dismount throttle from the pit but it's not a problem :smilewink: Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
Deadman Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 The pit all ready had two types of dzus rail installed So now I don't need to modify the T style Dzus rail I had purchased.I haven't seen any thing else to use Dzus or aluminum angel.

Deadman Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) HMA how is your TM throttle mounted?If the TM warthog throttle will fit between the existing structure I will not change it and just let people make any modifications.

Deadman Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks i will check it out as soon as i can. I don't think it will fit with the housing on it. The real on sits in the counsel with an angel https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Duckling Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 True. I had to cut the LASTE part from my TM WH to enable it to fit. Width is no worries as long as the Dzuz rails not cover the 'slot'. Only way to get the TM in there lengthwise would be to either move the frame divider, front of the original LASTE to rear of it and possible compromise the structure strength. One way (if first quiz is solved), the TM Wathog bottomplate would be possible though to fix underneath the dzuzrails with extenders . TM WH would be slightly angeled compared with true laste and dzuz rail but don't think that itself would be to much problem (TM WH LASTE PCB within is separable with only the 'Horn Silence' button that needs to be interfaced separable. Extra LASTE panel needed oc) - - - -
Deadman Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Gus thanks for the input all great points. I completely forgot about the LASTE panel. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Deadman Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 After reviewing the information I think I will leave the plan as they are and let you guys modify them or your TM throttles as you see best to do https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
