My 737NGX800 Homebuilt Cockpit
Site Update Archives
- Site Updated Nov 20/15. Added pictures of my Yoke build. It's pretty much complete except for clip board and Decals. Ive tested the yoke and it seems to work quite well. Remains to be seen how awkward it is with rudder pedals.
- Site Updated January 23/2012 -- new fuel lever pics, added a link and fixed some odd bits

- Hello Marc Gagne :-)
- updated Feb 7/12 -- fixed thumbnail referencing the wrong flap picture. Removed some code that Internet Explorer didn't seem to like. Also it seems FireFox doesn't want to support the 'top of page', code. Not sure how to fix this or if it's fixable.

- Site updated Feb 9/12 -- added several speed brake photos. I've changed my mind on speed brake design. New pics will follow.
- Site updated Feb 10/12 -- added the new speed brake photos. I decided to go with a simpler design. Hopefully it will work out ok.Not exactly to Boeing Specs but ..sometimes one has to give a little in order to save a little :-)
- Site updated Feb 25/12 New pics added of throttles and flap lever assembly. Pics of beefed up throttle legs also. Used paint stir sticks, light, strong and take paint nicely. Speed brake has been calibrated but still in the painting process so no pics of installation yet.. Also posted a pic of my parking brake to be, still in rough form. Will be working on throttle decals and park brake next.

All that now remains are refining the cosmetic appearance of the unit, general tweaking, a second coat of 7011, final speedbrake calibrations and in the future, output for the brake led and throttle backlighting. The throttle quadrant works great and is a pleasure to use. I enjoy it immensly, and I do believe everyone should have a decent throttle as part of thier kit :-)
