A few more items have been made for the cockpit, these include the winscreen De-icing control.

And the front windscreen assembly and glazing.

Don't worry Dave I think I've found a 66 with a Rotol hub, just waiting to hear back from a person with this...

Does this mean I don't have to "beef up" my wheelchair to "borrow" the one from Hendon? ;D

Thanks for the very kind words chaps, and the interest. But it is just a simulator.

It may not ever fly, but it sure isn't just a simulator. It'll be a flightsim experience!
Forgive me for being lazy and not going back over old posts, but as an A/V guy I'm very curious about the display you intend to use with this thing... or have you had time to figure that out yet? ;)
Surely you're not just going to put a monitor  in front of it...?!

Dave,

For your display I am envisioning sort of a white geodesic dome made out of projection screen material sitting with the "aircraft" in the center.
