Wintersedge Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 My home cockpit goal is to reproduce the Twin Otter. But I am having an extremely difficult time finding resources to get accurate layouts and dimensions of panels, gauages etc. to do anything accurate. Does anyone have any advice on how to find and gather that info? I've evn reached out to Twotter pilots offering to pay for them to compile that information with not even a nibble.

stinger2k2 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 For my own cockpit i found the dimensions of a G1000 then scaled the rest from that to get reasonable accuracy. Or perhaps you could buy one of these which the seller says is 75 percent to scale and work from that. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232972198012 Stinger Sent from my SM-T813 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersedge Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Hi Stinger. I figured that the approach you took would be the way I'd have to do it. I found some images of cockpits, main panels mostly, taken direct so assuming minimal distortion from perspective. But of course you need dimensions of a known component to be able to create that scale. I'm using this phot of a C208B cockpit (Jetphotos.com Frederico Cavalcante) for now for practice, and I believe it illustrates the G1000 as well. But, I haven't managed now to find any source of dimensions for the outside dimension of the G1000 (faceplate or bezel whatever its called) height width and depth (thickness). Would you be so kind as to share what outside dimensions you have for the G1000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
