Seats and CDU
November 1, 2002
The truck arrives with my new seats! They look FANTASTIC! The lamb
skins are brand new as well as the leather on the arm rests. There's my beautiful mother checking the mail
The center pedestal is now about 95% complete! The CDU is in place
and the F/O ACP and RMP panels have been installed. It's missing a few buttons since I ran
out of glue <g>. My new rudder knob is also visible in this shot. It is also very
impressive. Carpet will hopefully be installed in the next week or so... I can't wait!!!
Some semi-full shots of my simulator with the seats installed. The
3D portions of the F/O instruments need to be installed.
Getting close! The LEDs on the MCP will be from Go Flight and the
switches will be wired via the keyboard interface as well as a GF-P8 board.
Here is my CDU as I assembled it. I came in quite a few pieces, but
was assembled in one afternoon. They are now available from FDS.
