XOrionFE NG Build - 3rd time's a charm!

Looks super clean. I have to say, I love my 757 but what I wouldn't give to have a sim the size of a 737

Mip wiring completed.  Have begun the surgery of removing the OEM mip frame and transplanting the NG Mip.  Required taking out the control columns and moving my whole shell to gain enough doorway access.  At the end of a long weekend of work the NG mip is finally in the shell where I can now begin putting all back together.  A few more weeks and hope to be flyable again.

More progress.  Special thank you to Mike Sherick for sharing idea of replacing the plastic fasteners with sidewalk bolts and u clips on my liners...a lot easier to be able to remove and work on now and looks fantastic.  Also would like to thank Mike for making me some wonderful sidewall accessories on his 3-D printer.  They are being painted and will be installed shortly.  Won't be long until it takes flight.

Looking terrific Scott!  I like your attention to detail throughout!

2 easy improvements I did on my 73

The FDS front center post is too thin vs the real plane
Just adding two 1" wide strips on each side makes it more like the original

Back up and running.   Prosim is working great with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!  I am replacing my 60 inch TVs seen here with 75" ones.  More pictures to come.  Now my overhead rebuild begins...
