Kubi´s Pit

Hi all!

 

First of all I want to say thank you to all the great People around here.

Without all the knowledge and suggestions I found here in the Forum, I would never have come to this stage of building.

There are too many to mention them all by name and so I just say thanks again.

 

I have made some Pictures of my build.

 

I´m using an 22" Monitor for the instrument.

1 ARCAZE-Usb yet and my Phidget LED board is on it´s way.

 

 

All started with the SEAT. When I started to build it, I was not sure what kind of Cockpit I want to build, so I decided to build the F-16 style ACES II.

First I had to learn how to use all my new tools, but It was a lot of fun to build it and I got many many Info´s and suggestions over at VP Forum.

 

Installed in my room with the center stick:

I decided to build the front panel next. Dimebugs plans helped a lot!

 

- Thanks Dimebug -

 

Due to the size of the monitor it got all a bit smaller then the original and I´m not sure how to hide all the cables, but I´m satisfied yet.

The next thing will be to install my first panels (and finish the 2nd)

I didn´t find a solution to install TomDK´s great "Landing Gear Lever" yet, but I have some ideas and we will see what happens.

 

As you can see, there is a lot of work left and it will take a long time to finish the project, but it´s a lot of fun, I have a very patient wify and it´s very nice to meet all the great people here.

 

I hope my english is not to bad:music_whistling:

 

cheers,

 

Kubi

Had a little time to go on with my building.

I finished my Landing Gear Panel. Just a little soldering left.

 

I got the solution for TomDK´s Gear Lever with the great support of agrasyuk:thumbup:

For the top of the Panel I used self-adhesive Zweckform Polyester sheet and finished it with some clear coat.

 

I was lucky to get the Landing-Light Cap on e***. They were sold in a pack of 4. So I still have 3.

If someone is interestet just PM me.

Some quick info:

 

I got some grey water Pipe from the DIY Store.

 

19.thumb.JPG.8388dfe8419bc79c3c357c524339b659.JPG

 

To attach the Pipe to Base and Grip I used some Garden Tube connectors as `Dimebug´ explained in his Thread.

 

17.jpg.1bfa71c3947d6a130dab6a77411c77f2.jpg

 

The thread of the connectors works fine with the thread of the Warthog.

 

For the connection between Grip and Base I ordered this connectors:

The Pipe is about 25.5 cm high. I think about to shorten it a bit.

@Sierra99: I currently have not much time, so if you would like to get some more detailed info, how I did it, just let me know.

I like it!:thumbup:

I don't know how the real travel is, but I don't care. The only thing I want to change are the springs. A little more tension for a stronger feeling.

 

For the Stick I don't have any plans yet. For me it works fine with the low force. I got used to it. There is a little resistance in the center that let me know when the Stick is centered.

Maybe I will try some Springs or/and Damper in the far future, but at the moment there are a lot of other more important things to do to get my Pit flyable.
