Summer chores/pleasures slow down building, but sharing some progress on the ped. ::)

You call that 60% done??? What else will you be plugging into it?
I love your TQ by the way; so much cleaner than the 737 TQ.

Thank you
Still have to interface the fire bells and whistles as well as my custom switches driving some avionics functions.
Will do when SimA is installed.

Looks great Jack . . winter will be here soon . .   of course you will get it before I will  ;D    and the winter build season will start!  Sitting back enjoying your favorite drink while working on sim parts  . . won't be long!   I found a new interest while working on the sim . . listening to old time radio shows on the internet . . never thought I would be doing that!  Odd things happen to you when you start building a sim . .  :o

Off topic , but who cares...I often thought that people who had a meaningfull job and worked with their hands and tools , like carpenters, shoemakers etc derived much more satisfaction at their bench than all those  paper tycoons powered by Androids!!!
That's what I feel anyway when I am working on my "mini gauges" of all sorts! :D

Yep! Miniature gauges start to appeal to some of you even though they can't even be seen from the captain' side. But you can sense they are there and you are happy ;D
