Cessna_n137cm's cockpit plans

[Cessna_n137cm]

Hey!
Im soon going to start my own home cockpit for fs. Just going to make it very simple no gauges. Im going to make it as a whole disk and with an old car seat. I got my idea from this site http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/howto/n269lp.htm but mine is just going to be a one seater. Im going to use the flight yoke I already got but im also going to by one of those CESSNA Avionics Panel from The Desktop Aviator http://www.desktopaviator.com/index.htm. In the photo below is my plan but the measurements are just a rough measurements also I still have to figure out all the seat heights and stuff. Plans are alot like the two seat on the web site I got the idea from also the drawing is

Looks like a nice piece of kit. Don't worry about any lack of complexity...it only has to meet your needs after all, not anybody else's.

I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts about the desktop aviator panel. It seems to be an interesting pice of kit.

The desktop aviator looks like they have good panels and they just came out with a new one but im just going to get the old #905 model dont have the money for the good one!

A guy from Desktop Aviator ( http://www.desktopaviator.com/index.htm ) told me that they'll have the Model 1010 back again in April. It's the one with the 5 position keylock switch.

I'm also told that they are working on a NAV/COM radio (no LED Display) to change the frequencies
of the Flight Sim's Radio Stack. It uses a thing called a rotary encoder switch.

Can't wait for that one to come out. I'm already on the list to buy one.

Looks a lot like my preliminary design... do yourself a favor and don't start thinking about an enclosure...

Have fun, and post pictures!
