How far are you from a flyable cockpit Linden?

Can you show us an image if the work so far?

[linden]

i havent build anything "exept panels" for the last 3-4 month, to busy whit "real life" and panelruns..

No panels are added to the cockpit and most of the part are in the boxes.

 

I actually think that I should sell the panels and parts, has begun to lose interest, have another project that I'm more eager to build its my f-16 cockpit.

hell no you will not Linden ! :D

My pit progress is also hybernating a bit since I moved into my new house, but I will finish my a-10c lookalike pit :)

[Gremlin77]

don't do it linden! Just take a break and bit of distance to it and you'll see you will love it again. Sitting nights and nights searching for reasons why this or that doesn't work, nice windows blue screens smiling at you..... The sweet smoke of electronic components you decided to give the wrong voltage to.....Believe me you'll miss it!

 

and by the way....would you tell us what is your new love????? Something better than cockpit building???

[Jimbo]

 

Don't do it Linden!! Threads like yours are inspiration to many others!!

Who's ideas am I gonna steal now?! :)

[Hansolo]

Linden.... you are joking, right?? :(

 

I sure hope you are not quitting the Hog cockpit building.

So i do not gonna be missing this nice things!!

[linden]

Thanks for the nice words, i do need a timeout from building to real know what to do a10 or f16 or a10 or f16 or...., dont worry i will keep my eyes on ALL OF YOU!!!:)

[Flim]

Hey Linden, did you buy my first f16 pit? I can't remember...

[linden]

yes i did "from scsim", i do have the center pedistal, but i dont have the right and left console, dont know if i will use the center maby i go whit killn stencil.

Its looks like a complete kit whit tub and everything else, do you still make the kit?

[Flim]

I'm working on some new kits...

[linden]

Nice!!:)

[Cowboy10uk]

I'm working on some new kits...

 

:thumbup: Now that's some great news there, missed out on one of the kits last time, due to the fact I was broke. Now however......... :)

 

Will be following this closely.

 

Linden, By all means take a break, you've certainly earned it. But don't forget us, the future is looking very very rosy, Think you're confused about which build to concentrate on at the mo, Just wait for a few more months / years and the choice will be out of this world. :D

 

Thankyou for taking the time to do this thread, I have really enjoyed following it and I do wish you all the best on your future projects.

 

Just don't forget us now. :joystick:

Ya, linden... you have some great progress and take a break! You will regret selling your stuff, because a few months later you will change your mind and it cost a lot of money in this hobby to change your mind! lol

 

I have a new F-16 cockpit like before with ribs, and the A-10 which is a very similar style. Lastly I will have the F-18C in the future...

 

The A-10 pit has cutouts for the Simmeter instruments which will be the quickest way to get flying. I have a new cnc coming anytime so I can start testing.

 

I will make a new thread when the time comes...

 

So Linden, hang in there... would love to see a few completed cockpits!

[Gadroc]

I also would caution selling your personal parts. By all means take a step back and relax, but its sometimes hard to reacquire parts.

 

It's amazing how quickly passion can reduce when your spending more time on other folks parts than yours as well. Being careful how much you sign up for that helps.

[linden]

Yes i think its all the work whit the panelrun and so little time for the build that maby got to me...

The parts i will sell is the panels and then im going to take a brake from the a-10 and look at the f-16, maby i can have both:)

[DEChengst]

I agree with Flim and Gadroc that you shouldn't sell your stuff but finish the pit some day. The A-10C is too cool not to do so. However if you still decide to sell the panels I would like to have one VHF panel, because while ordering during your last panel run I forgot about the fact that I need two of them. I can fully understand though if you decide to sell a complete set to someone who has no panels at all.

[Duckling]

Can't agree more David. Know you made a tremendues effort and put a huge amount of time into both the pit and the panelrun. It comes a time (more then once) that one just wanna get out of the mess but don't do it in a haste. Stow the stuff away for some month and leave it alone meanwhile.

Planning for the Viper to be, isn't a bad idea just don't put it on a tight schedule...

 

Sooner or later the Hog build will surface again and having both the Pit and panels around make the restart doable

Are you putting a canopy on? I'm moving in June and plan on doing an A-10 in the mancave. I'm looking to even do the bottom of the fuselage enough to mount the gun up front. It's going to be tall. Could you tell me the foot print dimensions of what you have there?

[Patriot]

linden, what LCD you use for CDU ?

[linden]

If i remember right i think its was this one:
