Hello and Thank you very much! Im hoping as i get older and more experienced, the less revisions will be required! Kind Regards, Karl

It's amazing you've been able to create new projects with the move and all. With the move you shouldn't have much of a problem getting parts. Love the new workshop, must have been tons of time getting everything setup. Too bad the full size 737 cockpit had to be abandoned. Always amazed at your designs. Looking forward to building them myself. Keep up the great work.

Hi George, Thank you. I always knew the full size 737 was going to be a problem if we had to return to the UK. However, yesterday, i spet the whole day craeing new design wfor the single seat 737-800 and max. both of which have got me quite excited. Kind Regards, Karl

Enjoying these video. I own a 172L, trained on 172R & S. The 172L has a flaps up momentary, off, flaps down momentary. Our Dynon panel tracks position. Another 172L I flew had a vertical position led scale for position.The 172 R & S has the switch as you designed and if only Cessna designed with such good detents...

Excellent! The MIP looks really good! Looking forward to the next video!!

Hi Karl, my name is Karl, I would just like to thank you for all of your videos, very well put together, very informative, and motivational, In fact, it has inspired me to restart my 737 build which I started 14 years ago and never finished. I'll be reusing using my CDU and FMC parts from FDS, as well as other parts. I have also purchased 2 x Arduino Mega boards, including 2 x terminal block shield boards. I'll be heading over to your website to gather some info on wiring up and programming the boards. Your smile at the camera always makes me smile when you've nailed it the first time. I'm also thing about a 3D printer, possibly the Creality Ender 3 S1 PRO. Keep up the good work.

Hello Karl, Thank you for the kind words. The ender 3 is awesome, but if you can afford to get its bigger brother, the CR10 (smart Pro) or even the V2 or V3. It offers a bigger build bed that has become the standard for my designs going forward. Any questions, please ask away. The website chat is probably better though. Kind regards, Karl

If your machine struggles at 3mm, I'd done looking at laser as I can't justify buying such an expensive machine. Many thanks. Much appreciated. Hopefully we'll soon see you flight in the C172 sim.

@Heli Mech Thanks for the amazing work you do for our hobby. Do you have a blog / video planned to show off your laser? if not what ya got dude? I have a modded chinese K40 Laser. Cheers.

Great video as ever, thanks. Would like to know where you got those lovely hex drivers from, link maybe, ta.

Hello, Well this awkward, lol. I dont think there will be any more 737 full cockpit videos. After having to ditch the cockpit in brunei, I am left with the MIP which i can not fit into my house and is stuck in a tent in the garden, slowly getting destroyed by rain. This is where sim v5 comes in (started 3 days ago), a single seat 737 that will fit into a small UK home. It actually breaks my heart just thinking about it! But onwards and upwards! Kidn regards, Karl

As always your creativity is inspiring……. What type of laser etcher do you have, CO2 or Diode? Cheers

@helimech8152 Thanks for super inspiring content, you got me started on my own pit! What is the size and font of the text you print? Which nozzle size do you use on the CR10? I am stuggling with printing raised text and painting it after, resolution of my print is simply not enough.

Great video. Sounds like you sell the mag switch’s. Would you have a link to it. Thanks. Wayne

looks good. you're 3d printer could definitely go for a tune up tho.. I think k you could have gotten a lot better finish with some tweaks. still cool tho

is there a video or blue print that shows where everything is solder to example the buttons rotatory encoder ect.

Your skill set is just amazing 🙂 Is the screens you are using both for this setup and for your 737 always a VGA or HDMI type screen?

@helimech8152

Hello, Either, if its vga. I use an adapter cable. If its hdim, its usually a hdmi to dp cable.

Heli Mech, I was wondering where i could get the file for the actual panal with dual cutouts for g1000s.

The link to your website is not on your Channel Banner anymore.

Good evening, would you be so kind as to tell me the model of the encoder you are using? Thank you very much for everything.

Hi Mark, Chuckle, all I can say is its on the todo list!

SO much 3D printed stuff on this panel. I just don't have the patience for that. Mine's just some very thick industrial cardboard with a coating of black Plasti-Dip. It's OK™ but not this cool.
