I have started to build a little Pit between the Couch and the rabbit Cage. My goal was to keep Pit funktional, not a rebuild of a a-10 but inspired of it.

It startet with a right Hand console, but it wasn't that great ive expectet.

Next thing was a left Hand console - a really early try.

Thanks guys! The real Panels are nice to work with, there are maybe 200m of cabels in one of these small boxes - Great engineering!

I try to use the most original Rotary dials, but some cant be used wirhout a lot of Programming. Eg. The frequency dials from the ARC-34 ... I think i have to replace them by 5 encoders - therefor i need 10 more Input channels on a buttonbox Interface. So ... Next Time i buy one, i will make the radio full funktional (just the switches and dials, the frequeny gauges is way to much work)

I especially like how you used the limited space you have

 

That was the challenge! It's rally tight in there, maybe more like in a BF109 Cockpit then in a A-10 one.

The left and right consoles are quiet high too (i will lower them when i rework the whole pit)

It's Great that the carseat is mounted on two rails, so i slide it all the way back to grawl in and out.
