Hi all

I have tracked down a an old hughes 300 cockpit complete with cyclic, collective and pedals. The bonus is that both sets of controls still work so it can be set up for dual control. So I should only need to wire up one set of controls

What I would like to know is  how do you go about setting up the wiring etc

hsv,

You are starting down a dangerous path!

Hi john

Thanks for that, the price for the cockpit is a couple of grand plus it comes with a Bonus second cockpit which is really only good to scavenge parts from, plus some other parts they no longer need and an over head panel from a Sikorsky
complete with fuses dials and switches.
All the linking rods are in place in the hughes 300 cockpit so I need to figure out how develop a mechanical linkage.

The main aim is to turn it into a bell 206 using the dodsim jetranger. I am using the hughes 300 as a base for the bell 206 because everything is in place the pedals, collective, and cyclic so I don't need to construct flight controls and link them together for dual set up  .
I will construct a instrument, radio and overhead panel and fabricate the front cockpit section to fit on the hughes base

Its a long term project which I am sure will send me nuts  ;D

Cheers

Rhys
