Title: 737 Sismo FWD Overhead mounting height
Post by: mdavenport on September 26, 2017, 11:12:00 AM
I've got a Sismo 737 FWD overhead that I need to mount and have no cockpit frame so need to fit its as close to real life as possible.  I know the following about how to position it, mainly from Markuspilot guide:-

- It sits 100mm back from the end of the Glareshield
- The front over the overhead (lower part) is 1280mm from the floor and 210mm from the top of the Glareshield

Does anyone know what the height of the rear end of the FWD overhead should be?  I know its over 1280mm given the angle it goes up but can't find what it should be?

Also, I assume its positioned central to the MIP?

Hope you can help?

Think I've answered my own question as found another page on Marks site I didn't see before:-
