Hi Folks,
I mentioned a while back that I was working on a J-Rail design for my 737-800 Sim Project. As it goes with all of us, we have lots of things to get accomplished in life, and sometimes the Sim Project has to take a lower priority among other projects and "honey do's" that need to get done around the house. In all this, I managed to finalize and complete the J-Rail design and assemble the Captain side J-Rail.
The J-Rails turned out to be quite a project in themselves! Everything always takes longer than expected, and that goes double for anything associated with a Sim Project. Anyway, I thought I would share the finished result on the Captain J-Rail system.

The parts were designed and machined using CAD/CAM. The material is primarily steel plate to make the system a bit more rugged and durable. I made enough parts for two complete J-Rail systems. Here is a video showing how the project came together, with some detail on the various parts. I am really pleased how the J-Rail system functions. They will be a good addition to my 737-800 Flight Deck. Now... it's back to working on the 6dof motion system testing.
Enjoy the video.
