CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Because some are just not that way so you can tell them something until you are blue in the face. show them and maybe they will stop and think for a minute . Then again may be not

Why do you need to prove it?

He didn't, and wasn't asked to.

He was (in my altimeter thread) criticising my choice to try to reproduce the look of the altimeter in the game, while stating that I "wish to make" a different one that's not in the game, and I just mentioned that in this whole build thread, I didn't find one photo of his.

No I did not criticize your choice but some one else's statement, There is ton of suff I have that is not in my build thread most of it has been removed. The statement i made and information I supplied was only to give you the option of having and using information you did not seam to have. You all so are a bit confusing when you post a drawing with an AAU 34 with what appear to be OLEDs display. So any way I was just wanting to get you some information. I have no consern about how or what you build Cheers. I did make an adapted version of the Alt several years ago in SW do to thew type of display on the real unit

Well had a bit of time so I worked on the SAS panel The dimension were taken from my panel and are accurate so it will fit with the other panels . Just in case any one is going to ask.

Damn nice work, Deadman... One of my problems with my pit build is that the US bans export of military parts. Even the fill connector was tough to get. In the end I got one from China. Parts to build an A-10C in the UK means DIY most of the time.

 

Where did you get your hands on 2 legit RWR’s, Deadman?

 

Oh and I have to say I cheated and made my own electromagnetic latching switches for the SAS. I’ve only built one as yet using solenoids and levers. It functions as a momentary switch with the power off... but turn on the power it moves a sliding lever inside the switch and when the switch is flipped it holds it in place with said solenoid. The finished versions just need cutting out on my cnc.

The finished switch is pretty large but it is all hidden away under the panel.

ebay I know a guy that picked up at least 4 mag switches off of the eBay in the UK for 12 euros each so keep an eye out that is why I made the switch list

Would really like to now what he was searching to find them, only Honeywell ones I have seen over here have been very expensive.

 

Just searched Honneywell ET on ebay, and cheapest completed one was £95!

No idea but I would try to stay away from search like F-16, F-18 Flight simulator those tend to drive prices up where as part number and general description may show better results all so look at other sections than Aviation or military collectibles.
