My Embraer ERJ Series build diary

[Ricardo Carvalho]

Hello fellow builders,

Here is the thread i have over at mycockpit.org documenting the progress of my hybrid cockpit build, mostly based on the Embraer ERJ Series Aircraft.

Seems a good idea to share it here too.

I have started to build the shell based on wonderfull work by Ron Rollo on the Learjet 45 shell over at hangar45.net

Here is my first update:








Second update:

Here is just a small update on the build, don't have much time but managed to construct the base and start on the side cross members:


Third update:

Here is another little update, all the side cross members are completed:



Fourth update:

Here are some pictures that puts things in to a diferent perspective with a real human figure:


Fifth update:

The building continues, three 17" lcd monitor support and mip backer completed and in place, glareshield started.

If only i had some more free time...





Sixth update:

Here is one more update, glareshield taking shape.



Seventh update:

It's been a busy time for me these last months, but i have not stopped my build, here is the latest progress, been focusing on the interior first.
Hope you enjoy it!

Yes, it certainly is. Very clean and neat build.

Everybody needs a set of seat balls.
