a-10 cockpit LASTE panel dimensions?

[fael097]

does anyone have the dimensions of the laste panel?

i just need the 3 of them, widht, lenght and height, if possible the height of the 3 plates.

 

if no one has the dimension for the holes, i can figure out by myself, but I really need the 3 main dimensions. i tried to make an estimative, but no go, it looks way too small.

 

i'll be starting my cheap cockpit thread, so i need some base to start with.

 

thanks in advance!

thanks!

 

but that actually doesnt show any panels, but instruments instead.

 

I only wanted the measures of the the LASTE panel, on the left console, on the a-10c cockpit, dont you have that one?

 

also, does anybody knows the font type that eagle dynamics used on the labels all over a-10 cockpit, panels, etc?

 

thanks again

Well if you do a little searching on the form and read a few build thread you will come up with.

Just search for MS25212

 

Control panels width is normal 5.75 inches there is even a Mil Spec 25212 listed on the forms stating distentions are based on multiples of 0.375 and mounting panel thickness of 0.064. Dzus or panel fastnwers are spaced 5.365

 

There are only Two plates possibly if i understand you correctly. the mounting plate 0.064

The Light plate 0.23

 

So there should be your three dimensions well I gave you two you can do the math on the third :smilewink:

 

Isn't someone being helpful tonight... :music_whistling:

indeed, helps a lot!

i've been reading many build threads, but its easy to miss a few words after a hundred pages.

 

I only assumed it had 3 plates because i saw someone doing that way in a build thread, but guess the two top ones are only one.

I think he made it in 3 layers because its easier than cutting half thickness holes in the back part of the plate. not sure though.

 

thank you deadman

Deleted....I try to help out by measuring the actual panel dimensions while sitting in a pit of a real A-10C that I've worked for over a year (and worked A models for 4 years) but since some people that have NEVER sat in an A-10 want to tell me I'm wrong with my measurements I removed them.
