Symulate Cockpit Plans

<< < (2/12) > >>

avn-tech:
The main reason I decided to build an F-16 cockpit, was because of the support I found on this site. I think Rufus and I were the last builders to get Jason's planes.

I have seen builders come and go, after being frustrated at not being able to get plans. Having written several aircraft manuals, I think I have a good understanding of the work involved in making the plans. Following the group, it appears that only one or two people have been involved the community plans project and it has taken what seems like a long time.

I fully support charging for these plans, as a way to recoup the time and effort spent in there design. I doubt that anyone is going to get rich and retire from products they build for this community (look at dunk and what he has done). If Jason were making a living selling the plans, he would still be here and selling them. But the time he spent versus the pay was not worth the effort to him.

I was more then willing to pay Jason for his plans (yes, I saved my money to buy them), but the fact that they were available was worth what I paid. I have also been glade to pay dunk for his parts when I have the money to buy parts. I am sure that there others out there who will be raiding my piggy bank in the future as I work to complete my project.

Just my $0.02 worth.

I would also like to thank those who have organized the group meetings over the last couple of years. While unable to attend, I think they are worthwhile events for builders and hope to attend one in the future (if they continue to be offered).

Thank you

As said by myself and by others over this journey, we can't thank you enough. Like many others in this wonderful viper community who have the desire to build yet lack the skills (or software) to produce the artwork you have done, gives us a fighting chance to pursue a dream. Your prices are I think, dare I say, are too low. With all that time at the computer and doing the research, I myself would be understanding and willing to pay for the quality work you have shown us. Don't undersell yourself. After seeing some of the prices I have seen on Ebay...well I rant too much. Again thank you for the work you have done and am looking forward to your stencils, what ever price you decide

 I would also like to take the time to commend all the pit builders who built a pit without the aid of stencils and plans and I certainly don't want to belittle their efforts. Your experiences are a great resource for all us newbies. The combination of so many of the established (better word than old-timers :whistle:) pit builders coupled with the influx of new blood (stencils and drawings) have given us newbies a site full of great information and great friends. It can be easily said there is no other forum like Viperpit(s)!  :vprules:

Awaiting to soar the glory of the skies...

Hello all,

Thanks for all the feedback thus far.  I'll leave this open for the rest of the weekend for any more comments and concerns and then make a final decision on how to proceed on Monday.

I appreciate everyone's honesty.

Regards,

Hello all,

Thanks for everyone's feedback.  Having not heard had any negative comments regarding a commercial release I plan to double check everything and release the first two modules over the next few days.

Prices will be as originally stated, i.e. £25 per module for .pdf files only or £35 for .pdf and .dxf files.  Where possible I will support everything released, i.e. if you have any questions about construction then I will get back to you either individually or via this forum if I think the question will benefit other users.  If there are huge problems with the plans then I will aim to rectify ASAP and pass on updated plans at no extra cost.  Changes to allow fitment of individual pieces of hardware will not be supported. 

I have made every effort to ensure the construction methodology does not foul the larger components that would need to be fitted to have a high fidelity pit.  I have not taken into account every switch as I do not have accurate sizes for them all and there is also no standardisation for these parts across every different pit.  As such here may be some instances where small modifications will be needed to fit all your own specific switch gear.  I include this clarification as issues with switch gear will not be considered a design issue and as such will not be supported as such.  If you do have a specific concern please contact me first prior to purchase and where possible I will try and answer.

Rules and Regulations for Use

Apologies for this section but I think it important to clarify how you may and may not use these plans.

Firstly, All rights are reserved.  No part of these publications may be reproduced, (with the express exception that any reproduction is for your own individual use) distributed or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, recording, electronic or mechanical methods, without the prior written permission.  For specific permission requests please contact myself directly.

You can:
Print and make copies for your own use
Pass on information to a CNC bureau for the express purpose of them producing a single set of parts for your own use only.

You cannot:
Make copies for friends
Make copies to spread the cost of the plans across more than one user.
Cut multiple panels from these plans for distribution to third parties, either yourself or via a CNC bureau. i.e. you cannot get an external company to make more than one platform for selling on or “group buys” unless everyone involved in the group buy has purchased original copies of the platform plans from myself.

If you have any questions about the above then please contact me directly.

Thanks,
Sy

Regarding the plans, for which thickness of the wood plates are these made?

There is the problem with inch and milimetres depending buying the raw materials in US or Europe ... :notes:
