itmustbesid Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I have started working on a CS-1 Stallion by SimSamuari and have posted some pictures in the Gallery. Please swing by and let me know what you think. Thank you I've recently started building the same thing - we're probably at about the same level of progress right now. I don't get a lot of time to work on mine though. I started a blog to document the experience -- https://flightsimathome.wordpress.com/. I'll be interested to see how you get on with yours.

porchpooch4 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 I checked out your blog and I really like the progress you done have so far. I have to figure out how to make my pictures smaller so I can load them. I placed them in the gallery but I am sure how to link them. I hope to paint everything this weekend and start cutting out the panel for the sides and top. I will post more pictures when I am complete.

porchpooch4 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I just made a blog with pictures at this address https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/entry.php?1074-CS-1-Stallion-Project check it out and let me know what you think. This weekend should be a good one for me and my project if all goes according to plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmustbesid Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Looking good ... I like your idea of having the switch panel on the lower left, it's a little more realistic, but then I also like the look of having all the Saitek stuff in one stack. I'm focusing on panel layout right now so I will play with both ideas. I also agree, the yoke is better mounted behind the panel - I'd be interested in how you add an extension to it (i.e. interested in stealing your idea!).

porchpooch4 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 itmustbesid- I have laid everything out on the kitchen table and it appears that it will work the way I want it to. The yoke will also be higher than what most people do but it should reflect the correct position as in the plane. I think it will work out perfectly behind the instrument panel. It appears the monitor will be very close to the top of the Saitek yoke case. We will see. I have a poster of the C-172 in my home office that I keep deferring to for orientation. If I get everything cut out this weekend I will post a picture in my blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porchpooch4 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I just purchased the aluminum for my instrument panel, I was originally going with wood but have changed my mind after the Flightsimcon 2015 conference. I think the conference is going to be more expensive than the flight and hotel there ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
