I haven't done flights since February this year, but I am now proud to say I have finished my home made overhead panel :D

i made all panels and annunciators myself (hence the somewhat rough look ;-) Switches, guards and electronics were bought on ebay. Total cost about €150, but a lot of hours went into it.

Glad to be back to flying again. Did two test flights yesterday and all worked fine.

Congratulation. The Overheadpanel is really great :yes:

I started working on it in February this year. I have been working on it on and off, but if I would have had the time it probably took 3 weeks to complete.
 
Yes it looks great. And all for 150€! If you are going to the shop, you have to pay for a overheadpanel a minimum of 3.000,-€ and much moooooooore ;)
 
WOW, Jeroen, that looks a-w-e-s-o-m-e !!
Never thought it would look THAT good :clap:

Just a question about the canvas in the background: did you pick one of Astrid's paintings to serve as projection canvas for your beamer ....?? :rofl:

Haha :rofl: . Storage Peter, storage. My room is used for paintings that are too big to fit anywhere else in our house, as you can imagine.
 
Hello Jeroen!

I'm without voice :lol: looking your incredible home cockpit.
Congratulations, it is wonderfull.
Could you built the same for me? :lol:

Cheers
Pierre
 
@ Pierre and Rafal.... OMG That would mean another year building and not flying ;-) Sorry lads, you will have to build one yourself. I can give some tips and advise though ;-)

But to be honest, I am bitten by the cockpit builders bug. The next project is already in my head. A nice 737 throttle, and some panels for the pedestal. I am still putting of the MIP, because I don't have the proper monitors behind it. They're old CRT's but you really need flat panels. I am trying to get them somewhere cheap and second hand, but no luck so far. Oh yeah and the landing gear lever and.....

Well first I will accumulate some hours. Try to be there this Sunday for the HUB inspection into Copenhagen
