Portable cockpit

Having recently lost my desk to a wife and two small boys who all seem to want to us it when ever I do, assembling my yoke, throttles, nav box etc and then taking it all down seemed to be a never ending story. So I made it portable. Have cockpit will travel so to say ;D
Easily packed away (in a car too or corner of a hotel room :-X), no dust problem and no more cables running all over the place. One USB cable out the back, though I still have to get around to a general cable tidy up at the back. Here is the result.

Jake I can take some pictures for you, but that will take a while, I am at work (installing a business class to an A319 and now having a coffee break)....man how I hate cabin work, give me an engine any day.....
In the mean while, go to this link It is the download page for the complete VR products. If you download the MPanel, it comes with nice colour pictures of all the display windows. The downloaded manual needs to be dragged and dropped into a blank browser window (they don't tell you this)

The file is in PDF format. If you rename it to Manual_M.pdf it will open in Adobe Reader.
