Hello from Canada
« on: August 16, 2023, 06:46:02 PM »
Hi everyone,

Glad to be part of this group.  I use to be on here and lurked fairly frequently in the past but it’s good to be back.

Working on a 50/52 deskpit that will eventually end up as the complete cockpit.  From left to right, I’ve got the winwing thrust lever, gear panel, misc panel, TWP (RAFI15) panel, RWR 2.8” round screen, Simgears ICP and DED, Deduino FFI, MFD with screens, glare shield, tablet running Ice’s CPD, and a TM stick.  I have the Litebits working through F4toserial. Looking ahead, hoping to have functional engine gauges soon too.

Just started to figure out Arduino boards and just bought a 3d printer. Looking to get AOA indexers printed and done next.

Mainly flying BMS single player right now.

Looking forward to having all the resources that this group offers.

Welcome back !

I would love to see pictures of your desktop pit.

Desktop pits have much more "variation" than a "complete" pit, so pictures of desktop pits are always nice.
They can be very inspirational  :bounce2:

Hi Marvin,  thanks for the welcome.  I have to say your pit is very impressive.  Definitely something I’ve watched and followed over the years.  I’m in Calgary.

Hi Henkie!  I’ll post a few pictures over the weekend.  The deskpit was once easy to remove, three pieces and the office space was clean.  Now it’s more of a permanent fixture. It’s destined to be a big part of my basement.

Ah well that's only 6 hours from me.  Next time I am in Calgary we should get together.

And only 13 hours from me! Always glad to see more Canadians coming around. Welcome!
