Yesterday at 10:50 I tracked my shipment and the panels were stuck in Hamburg, Germany. 10 minutes later they arrived at my door! Amazing!!

I have been running back and forth like a headless chicken between my house and the mailbox for a couple of weeks now. Today it paid off!

I have a few tools in my toolbox but i never owned soldering iron. Last week i bought a Weller 40W and today it showed up in the mail. I have no idea if its the right tool for me, but i guess i will find out. I've also ordered the Leo Bodnar BU0836X 12-Bit Joystick Board (BU0836X) from leobodnar.com

Today is a big day for the project. I took the first step and ordered the overhead panels, 45 toggle switches , screws, 2 speeds/ baro panels, and a standby instrument for the Q400 MIP. I guess I’m now officially a cockpit builder :)

Welcome to my Project

Welcome to my Project

Ever since I was a little boy, I dreamed about flying an airplane. In the late 90’s and early 2000’s I started to take interest of flight simming. My hardware was not any good and I could not afford the upgrade at that time some eventually the «air went out of the simming balloon» - so to speak.
