Deadman Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well guys I would actually like some more feed back on the thread than a beer right now. I am covering for a coworker so I will be working all week and week end. Iwill get a few things done I have most of the parts to rebuild the indicator lights so may be i will have some pictures to post by the week end https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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.

Zenga Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks, Deadman! That pdf was quite interesting and now I see the "D" type without the center lock. Apparently, the HWL website does not have the correct images for each type, the image for the "D" type is indeed the "A" version with the center lock. When I look at the HWL prices, I think I should add another column to one of my Access DB tables: "alternate dealer"....:music_whistling: Just one question: You say you may sell some copies of your MIP possibly. Are we talking about a completely assembled, wired up MIP? So I think we're talking about some 4-digit numbers here, right? Just a curiosity... EDIT: Really interested to see some pics of the indicators over the weekend...! Edited February 9, 2012 by Zenga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 On the MIP no we are talking about the Main instrument panel frame only. Reversed engineered from a MIP from an A-10A and the MFCD drawings and other real instruments. It will be able to support real instruments that I have. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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 February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 any one there interested in this obscure information ? Iam not sure if any one is even looking at this any more:huh: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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.

Direwolf5 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yes very interested, I cross-referenced several of the switches to various suppliers catalogs. For example the CMSP Panel JTSN Switch MS21026-C231 Cross-references to a Eaton SPST 8855K7 with a "C" type locking Bushing (ON - None - |ON) Locked in the lower Keyway position, found on page A57 in their switch catalog. It is a miniature switch with a full-sized toggle. While the switch from Eaton may be costly, a pit-builder could use a standard miniature toggle switch and fabricate a replica locking bushing and toggle arm to fit it. Your work will greatly aid many pit-builders in their endeavors, while they may not say it, they are grateful for the hard work you are doing, I know that I am. So keep up the great work :thumbup:.

Deadman Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Perhaps it would be useful if i put the cross references in. I just thought the MS number would be sufficient thanks for letting me know some one is out there reading:thumbup: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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.

Dropship Pilot Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Deadman, I'm looking forward to each one of you post! Without those infos I'd already spend a lot of money on the wrong switches. Especially with the expensive locking switches there's a lot that can go wrong without accurate intel. So thanks a lot!

Gadroc Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 any one there interested in this obscure information ? Iam not sure if any one is even looking at this any more:huh: Very much looking. I've been busier lately so not as much getting done, but want to compile your switch list with my "possible alternatives" list when I release my panel designs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have not run in to any Eaton switches. All that i have are Honeywell but what ever you find cheaper will work that fits the spec. @avlolga Direwolf5 could very well be correct. I don't have any of the switches or a real panel to verify or dispute his listing. After a quick check on the Steer Toggle Switch listed I will probably look for one. $35.00 is a lot for switches yes but there are not that many needed in the cockpit. Thanks guys for the input:thumbup: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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.

Zenga Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was thinking about that too....just then I realized DM is talking about a REAL stick, right? So that one comes with more than the 5-pins we have on our TM replicas.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
