Brian, me and my brother Ralf at our trip to Australia. This is Brian's homemade A320.

At first, i began building a 737 cockpit, but i changed to a twinprop and this is the result so far.

All the instruments have selfmade housings and are backlighted.

The process of making gauges is a great challenge. I made the housing with Polyurethan plastic. The form is made of silicon copied from an original cockpit gauge. The controller for stepper motors is still in development. Here you see a prototype.

The altimeter requires special gears. These 5 build the gearbox for a 3 axis altimeter driven by one stepper motor. The material of the gears is also PU and the metal parts are made with a small lathe.

Rob van Dijk's pedestal is equiped with his own pcb layouts. He designed them to position the display segments and switches into each specific panel. The controller boards are mounted on the floor connected by ribbon cables.

a legacy certified 1970'th simulator. Analogue technique at it's finest. The sound in that twin engine cabin is much more impressive than today's surround speaker toys. Look at the speaker dimensions.
