Title: Shell placement and yoke placement questions
Post by: helloo on August 18, 2019, 10:37:26 AM
Hello, it looks like my 737 MAX order from FDS should be arriving in the next week or two.  I built an 8X8ft platform that the shell will go on.  The shell is 7ft from front to back and 8 feet wide at the rear.  Can I have the shell all the way at the front of my platform which would make it up against the wall (preferred)?  Or should I place the shell one-foot back from the front of the platform to allow for space?  The area behind the front wall is unfinished storage space.

Also, where is the approximate placement of the yoke when it is in the FDS shell (feet/inches from front of shell and side)?  I have an under-floor mounted yoke and would like to get a general idea of where it will be placed so that I can make the approximate cuts in the platform before I have to secure the floor as it is just laying on top right now.
