The successes, trials and tribulations of converting a scrapped aircraft cockpit into a simulator in my garage

Back to Work

After the weather problems at the start of the year, and frozen water mains, things are back to normal. The garage is almost finished, just waiting for the doors and it'll be a week away from completion.

The cockpit is mobile again, Derrick has fabricated a frame for it to sit on. The mounting at the front is particularly neat using the nose gear mounting points on the forward bulkhead. It's really easy to push around; adding a couple of grab handles will finish things off. There's a bit of heavy work to clean up and enclose the back and then we can sort out the control links and start work on the panels.
