Title: CDU Arrived
Post by: jskibo on March 07, 2011, 07:38:30 AM
Just got a nice package at the post office.  Shocked as Steve just mailed it, but its my new FDS CDU.  This thing is beautiful!!!  I had to bring it in the office and compare it to the real thing :)

Can't wait to fire it up!  Nice work FDS!!!

I have just received two of these and Ken Brand came around and fired them up for me, it's great having a local expert to call on! They are stunning when 'lit' up displaying in full colour. Yesterday I made the faceplate for the forward lower console to house the two units and the lower EICAS. I'll post my drawing here tomorrow which has the sizes of the cut out to suit the FDS FMCs.
