They are a lot of fun. Also, besides fabricating the physical simulator, there is a whole fabrication process of building the computer model with all the specs and correct flight dynamics
@@HorstFederau That’s the aspect I’m really interested in. I’ve been into flight sims since kindergarten and have been building PCs messing with flight sim hardware since. Sometimes I think I like setting new stuff up and getting it just right more than actually playing 😂
@@fa-ajn9881 I totally understand what you are talking about 😀. Many A&P have come by to check out the sim, especially because it is made from a real plane. Plane Maker is a lot of fun to play around with to get systems and flight dynamics correct
Awesome to find this. I am just starting my journey to build a full kingair 350. By chance have you measured and documented any of the measurements of mip, centre pedestal or throttle box units?
Thanks for the very interesting video Horst. I've never seen an 'intermediate' cost flight sim platform, (much more expensive than a home-user DOF setup, but much cheaper than the millions cost of a commercial cockpit sim). A very attractive option for anyone with (I guess) about 50k and a high ceiling room to accommodate it. Presumably when the cockpit fuselage section is attached, it would be surround by projection monitors ?
Thank you. Yes, I really like this product, it is about U$30K (plus shipping). The 65" TVs are already mounted to the frame. If you look at one of my previous videos you will see how it looks from inside the cockpit.
@@HorstFederau Unless you have a real need for all that space, I would cut half of it off as it would give you some good weight savings and also enable the overhangs/inertia to be less. All the best for your project.
There must be someone out there I am thinking of buffalo Joe of. Buffalo airways Canada. From jeremy Mellor England or set .up a fund to save them for ❤😂❤😊
Could. These. To. Norseman. Aircraft. Be. Restored. To flying condition. How. About. Putting. A diesel. Engine. In. One. I. Think. This. Would help from Jeremy mellor
Schade drum. Erinnern mich an zwei Broussards, die vor fünfzig Jahren links und rechts vom Eingang des militärischen Teils des Flughafens von Ouagadougou standen, der eine grün, der andere silbern.
Thank you. It is a pre-made Frasca frame, so I can’t change the elbow room. I used what I had on hand, my other Cessna 152 and Beechcraft cockpits are the real deal, with no elbow room 😂
Hi, there is an update to this video. I stopped using those infrared sensors as they ended up being unreliable. I started using micro-switches instead. Here is a link to a newer video where I also show the sketch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9mpWFTipTF4.htmlfeature=shared
That’s strange…sounds ok on my computer. Others don’t seem to have an issue with the sound either. The volume hight looks good on the video editor too…
Dear Horst Federau, I'm Yuki from Japan. Thanks for the very exciting video. Your video inspired me to buy a VSI. I am planning to incorporate a stepper motor. However, the shaft that moves the needle is very thin and it seems difficult to connect it to the motor shaft. In your video it looks like it can be smoothly interlocked, but how is it connected? I'm looking forward to your answer. Best Regards, Yuki
@@HorstFederau Thank you very much for your quick reply. I see, you are replacing the shaft! Is the shaft you replaced a custom-made shaft? If so, is the shape very thin on one side and matches the shaft of the servo motor on the other side? Best Regards, Yuki
