PanelBuilder Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 In this photo it looks like there's an "OFF" flag on the temp gauges: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/AWA1/001-100/walk096_A-10%20cockpit/images%20Rick%20Chin/Rick%20Chin%20A-10%20Cockpit%2023.jpg As if that one wasn't complicated enough already. Cheers, Colin
Deadman Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) The off sign is printed on the front of the gauge there is a small black flag just below it that pops up when there is power it pivots on the left side Edited September 8, 2011 by Deadman 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 September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I think you would want it to rotate counter clock wise and not push. But I real don't know 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.
Rokmonkey Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 You can get it to swing, you just need a linkage or two. I'm planning on using solenoids to set flags.
y2kiah Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 converting linear motion to rotational motion shouldn't be a problem, you already have a pivot point
