Hi all,
One of my customers is building a B747 sim and he intends to make his own MCP and EFIS units. He requires some dual concentric potentiometers and also some concentric potentiometer/rotary switch combinations as found on the heading bug/bank angle combination. I'll post progress pics of the custom units here as they evolve!

I have also made silicon molds to cast all types of B747 panel knobs in clear resin as shown on these pics. Casting in clear allows the knobs to be backlit after painting.
More soon!

What do you need Mike? Aerosim Solutions is "custom order", it's what keeps it interesting for me, there's always something new coming along!!!

Gywn,
Custom order.. Cool didnt realize! Ill prob need some duals for the radios and mcp/efis. I have an older version FDS MCP with all the Interface IT stuff. Not really the direction i want to go so im prob going to sell all that. After that ill decide weather to build own mcp/efis or see what other options there are.
Leaning towards building own right now. Ill definately be talking to you about that!
Thanks

Do you have a button with one encoder, two positions rotary switch and with push button.
These are for my homemade 747 efis.
