Who have a stable and smooth running A10c setup

Frank, the hard part will be putting three or four cockpits on a carousel so when you change from a10 to tank in CA, to ka50 etc you will get lifted out of your seat as the carousel turns around and drops you in to the correct cockpit :)

LoL - yeaa - your right...

 

Well, tomorrow the modelling work start in SolidWorks and then to the printer- EWPI panel first

Frank, not sure what you mean by print? Are you using a 3D printer to make the panels or ??

[frank]

Yes for some panels... like the F16 ICP on the picture

[metalnwood]

Which printer do you use? I havent seen a 'cheap' one that would give me the results I would like for instance printing knobs.

[Gadroc]

Looks like you printed the buttons and wheels but not the panel itself correct?

I think I have seen that one advertised somewhere.

 

Other than the large commercial ones, which would do the job perfectly fine for me if it wasnt for the price tag, I have only seen the results of repraps.

 

The output from those told me that they could acheive the basic shape but would require filler and sanding to get what I wanted.

 

I know a number of them can be milled on my CNC ok but I just havent got around to tryin, mostly because I have not tried to model the knobs yet.

 

I have not seen close up pics from the cubify machine, do you know how it's output compares to a well made reprap?

[frank]

I printet it all except the faceplate - yes

[Manuel]

How did you do the front pannel with all the holes for the various instruments? Is it just a plate where you drill the wholes our do you cut them out? It seems very precise. And you plan to do that with an aluminum plate?

 

Other question...do you sell those simulators also or is it just for renting as advertised on the youfly homepage?

 

Background info: I am a student at the time and neither have the means nor the room for such a simulator but I think it will be a project of myself later and I will start small with single modules which connect to the sim before building a whole cockpit as you do there.

I see, do you have a link to a shop or a price table? I am definitely interested for future projects.

 

Well, I am honest, I have not a clue about the workload and stuff. I study engineering and have a little knowledge and some sort of idea how those things all work together but I do not have the experience of building a sim.

[frank]

Im glad you write that you know about the work load - you can't imagine the amount of time

 

I only sell these sims as consept modules of pairs.... i setup the shop you run it....
