Title: My 737
Post by: Bob Reed on December 13, 2015, 01:12:15 PM
I have been working on the sim for the last couple of weekends and I am getting ready for some pretty big upgrades. Starting to setup PMSystems and have the RCDU operational. More tweaking of buttons and getting the MIP ready. Now to figure out how I am going to move the MCP out about 12" from where it sits. It is pretty heavy!

Playing with my radios to get them ready.

Well Adjustments to the MIP can not start until I get the PFC yoke repotted so I can remove the yoke that is fastened to the MIP stand. Does someone have a link to hall effect sensors? Then I need to figure out how to move the MCP out from where it is located about 12". That thing is heavy. Then I can see about dragging the MIP out. I think I have the 19" wide screen LED monitors I need. lol I think you get the picture. TQ still needs pot work.. Hmmmm maybe more hall effects? Never ends, does it?
