Hi all,
I have progressed a little more on the MIP this week which included a trip to Bunbury to fly Darryl's amazing Spitfire and deliver his latest part, cheers Darryl!
I removed the monitors from there casings and attached them to the back of my MIP with clamps made from PVC. The two outer monitors are 19" ACER X193HQ models and the centre monitor is a regular 17" LCD turned on it's side. The SimAvionics software allows gauge rotation and this monitor will display the EICAS, 3 standbys and the flaps gauge, I'm not sure if the yaw damper is modelled. Installing this monitor means there is no room for the autobrake switch to be fitted into it's own panel so I have mounted it off to the side and it will be driven by a trace wire cable - more on this later when I fit the cable.

Thanks for posting the update Gwyn.
It is really coming along well and there are some really good practical tips - I like the remote auobrake switch.
Unlike you, who has the skill and machinery to mould plastic, I have gone the MDF route. My monitors are mounted with MDF brackets.
Keep up the good work.

Yeah, doesn't he make you sick..... :idiot:
Well done Gwyn it's coming along nicely, I bet you're anxious to get it flying now
Cheers
Joe. ;)
