Title: DEHAVILLAND BEAVER cockpit build
Post by: keyes1994 on November 03, 2013, 01:43:35 AM
Not sure if i am posting this in the right place as i am only new to this website but i have been using FSX deluxe edition for a few months now and was thinking of building a Beaver cockpit (actually building the frame like the beaver) and was wondering if anyone can help me with some ideas.
i watched this guys video and he built a 737 simulator out of a real cockpit here is the link
Tour the Boeing 737 Flight Simulator Built in a Garage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5BmA3ejyHY#ws)

wondering if anyone has any build plans for me to make a beaver cockpit myself from wood ect?

thanks

thanks john! ive actually had this crazy ideo to get one of my old cars and take out all of its parts. pedals. steering wheel hand brake. and gear stick. and use the inside of the car as an actual cockpit. put the over head panel on the ceiling of car. put the rudders where the pedals where. and put the rest of the stuff on the dash board and run the pc in the trunk of the car.

that will save me money from actually building a cockpit and its probably the most creative thing i have ever came up with in my life lol.

thanks
