Deadman Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 A long 6 hours spent on the AUT LG EXT Handel today The basic fitting is done on the first unit it slides well, There several more holes to drill and pieces to fit but I think it is looking very good. 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.
Boltz Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Looks amazing! Thank you so much for all the work you have put into these :thumbup: A-10C Cockpit Build Thread My YouTube Channel
Hansolo Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I can't belive it Deadman. It is looking so good I will have to redo my pit, as it is otherwise unworthy to have such perfect parts :worthy::worthy::worthy: Outstanding work, Sir Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
Deadman Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks I am glad some one appreciates replicas. I only hope it increases the enjoyment of your pit and flying experience. 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.
MacFevre Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Of course it looks amazing! I only wish I could give you rep points instead of having to "spread it around." I'm kind-of with Hans on this one. I need to work on my pit some more with more attention to detail! And DM, thanks for your hard work. I know you don't have to go through such lengths to make things with such precision, but I'm glad you are.

Deadman Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Thanks Mac I just figured that some of you guys want replicas. So the attention to the detail is a must. The only detail I was not able too replicate do to cost was the thumb release on the Aux LG Ext Handel.

Deadman Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 HI Guys this last week has not been a productive one . I have not been able to get more than 2 hours in on finishing the handles. Hopefully these are finished and out the door next week some time Thanks Guys for your patience on these. 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 March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Handels are done Hey I finished the last handle today I am just waiting on several sets of springs for the Aux LG EXT handle i had to order they should be here on Monday. Here is a demo of the Aux LG EXT handle. All handles are white and must be scrubbed with a cleaner then lightly ruffed up with an abrasive then painted to match you cockpit color. I would suggest you don't paint the lower guild rod on the Aux LG ext system so it does not jam not a lot of play it it.

Deadman Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Hi DM, Wow :thumbup: I am appreciate for your great work. Could you painted for us? HI Moken as I posted in post 23 these will be sold in white so you can paint them to match your cockpit. For that price you would hope so, they look great by the way. How long did it take you to make them? Cali it sounds that your not happy with my price on these. I have put many hours in to these units, making molds ,casting ,making jigs for accuracy , drilling ,taping, . Unlike some replica makers I don't sell the damage parts for less to try and recoup some of the loss. Those cost along with materials mil spec screws,and springs to give the units the final touch of detail. It is to bad that you don't see the value in these units but this is the price for replicas . Whooa DM:thumbup: They look more awesome than I could imagine :thumbup::thumbup: Cheers Hans Hans Thanks I have the plans for the center pedestal and left and right housing units for the pull handles all most finished . so mounting these for actual use will be much easier. 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.
moken Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Thank you DM I think your price is fair and good quality.:thumbup:
Deadman Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Here is how most of you will receive your handles and what you need to do to put them together all of the Allen or set screws are the same size Edited February 11, 2015 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.

I have nothing against your prices, I've seen stuff on ebay that looks like crap selling for outrageous prices. Your work looks good. Slap a little paint on it and it's a finished product, the consumer won't have to do anything cause it will be ready to use out the box. Try to stay warm up there. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED
Deadman Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 Cali as I have posted before do to the different shades of gray available in the US and the EU. I have left these white so the consumer does not have several shades of gray in their pit striping these would be a night mare. Any thing more than three to four layers of paint these will look like blobs. So painting over any thing I put on them is not an option in my opinion . If there is an majority demand for painting I could stop all sales take the units to a professional get a quote. I have no idea how much this would cost or how long it would take to complete . As for being used right out of the box both the Aux LG Ext and the Pedal adj can be mounted.If the consumer has the center pedestal all ready made if not the plans will be in the book. The drawing of the housings for the Canopy jet and Emergency brake handles have not been finished but will be shortly. Making these actualy work in the guys pits. So if you guys that have ordered want me to check in to this let me kow asap 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.
