Kubi Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Hi all! First of all I want to say thank you to all the great People around here. Without all the knowledge and suggestions I found here in the Forum, I would never have come to this stage of building. There are too many to mention them all by name and so I just say thanks again. I have made some Pictures of my build. I´m using an 22" Monitor for the instrument. 1 ARCAZE-Usb yet and my Phidget LED board is on it´s way. All started with the SEAT. When I started to build it, I was not sure what kind of Cockpit I want to build, so I decided to build the F-16 style ACES II. First I had to learn how to use all my new tools, but It was a lot of fun to build it and I got many many Info´s and suggestions over at VP Forum. Installed in my room with the center stick: I decided to build the front panel next. Dimebugs plans helped a lot! - Thanks Dimebug - Due to the size of the monitor it got all a bit smaller then the original and I´m not sure how to hide all the cables, but I´m satisfied yet. The next thing will be to install my first panels (and finish the 2nd) I didn´t find a solution to install TomDK´s great "Landing Gear Lever" yet, but I have some ideas and we will see what happens. As you can see, there is a lot of work left and it will take a long time to finish the project, but it´s a lot of fun, I have a very patient wify and it´s very nice to meet all the great people here. I hope my english is not to bad:music_whistling: cheers, Kubi Edited February 17, 2013 by Kubi My Pit so far: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=101455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubi Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Had a little time to go on with my building. I finished my Landing Gear Panel. Just a little soldering left. I got the solution for TomDK´s Gear Lever with the great support of agrasyuk:thumbup: For the top of the Panel I used self-adhesive Zweckform Polyester sheet and finished it with some clear coat. I was lucky to get the Landing-Light Cap on e***. They were sold in a pack of 4. So I still have 3. If someone is interestet just PM me.

Kubi Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Some quick info: I got some grey water Pipe from the DIY Store. To attach the Pipe to Base and Grip I used some Garden Tube connectors as `Dimebug´ explained in his Thread. The thread of the connectors works fine with the thread of the Warthog. For the connection between Grip and Base I ordered this connectors: http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/732087/;jsessionid=A1A1CDCE34C007C379AEB95ADFA4BA19.ASTPCCP9 http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/731937/ The Pipe is about 25.5 cm high. I think about to shorten it a bit. @Sierra99: I currently have not much time, so if you would like to get some more detailed info, how I did it, just let me know.

agrasyuk Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Cool. how do you find the landing lever travel? also with this long of a stick how do you plan on increasing the centering force? Anton.

Kubi Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 I like it!:thumbup: I don't know how the real travel is, but I don't care. The only thing I want to change are the springs. A little more tension for a stronger feeling. For the Stick I don't have any plans yet. For me it works fine with the low force. I got used to it. There is a little resistance in the center that let me know when the Stick is centered. Maybe I will try some Springs or/and Damper in the far future, but at the moment there are a lot of other more important things to do to get my Pit flyable.

Kubi Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hi, I attached the Panels I have yet just to figure out, how it will work with all the cables later. I´am satisfied so far with the look even if it is not painted, but I´am a little afraid about the wiring later.:hmm: My Pit so far: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=101455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
