I've decided to move the 727 into the shop area where I can complete the right third of the shell. I have a lot of crap to move that is currently in the space it will occupy and this is by no means going to be a weekend project.

I'll keep what I've built so far and add on the right side once it's in the shop area. Since the sim was wired as I built it, this will also give me a chance to rewire it more neatly and logically.

About the only thing that will change is the front windscreen openings where the two frames will join. This will allow me to move the monitors back and construct the openings properly and retain the center windscreen support.

Sounds like fun!  Good luck and be car eful!

By the way, I got my real 727 AP panel working perfectly with Captain SIm 727 for FSX!  Makes it very enjoyable to fly now.  All functions work just as like the real plane.

Thanks Scott, don't need anything this trip.

You might ask him though if he has any of the trianglular ceiling trim for the right side that holds the escape rope and dome lights.
