Getting Some Air Moving!

Flying in an enclosed cockpit deals with a lot of "real cockpit" issues.

Main Instrument Panel Lights

Below are two shots that show the 12V DC main instrument panel lights (although you can see a lot of the rest of things too):

The light units themselves are replacement automotive licence plate lights.  ;)  The lit switches on the lower left of the MIP are the controls for all the cockpit lighting..... there are separate floor, dome, reading, yoke, MIP, glare, center pedestal, and overhead light controls.

Stunning work, John, I REALLY need to save up and get over to your crib!  ;D

Marick, that monitor is only a temporary solution, I'm sure. A new screen shall find it's way into that little box.  ;D

Yup.... the monitor is temporary.  It will eventualy be a projector (or a wide screen HDTV if I hit the lottery  ;).

And thanks once again for all the kind words guys.  But anyone with the time and a few hand skills can do something like this... not to mention some disposable cash.   8)
