Two Years...


Hi everybody,
Yes, on 17th. of March, two years passed since the begginning of this blog. At the beginning I had read the others as they were telling about the construction completed in two years, I thought that it was a long time and may be I could do better. But I see that in the parallel of our daily lifes with two children, a dog and many other exhaustive issues, two years construction time is really a minimum. I can advise to all who wants to begin this type of work, put at least two years to complete your project and be patient.
Mine is not finished yet, I have still half of it to complete. But at least I can see the result of my work at the end and happy about it from now on.
Take care and as the french says "bon courage" to all.

Lightening the MCP & EFIS 

I decided to put backlight on my MCP & fake EFIS on the first officer site. For this, I use flexible light stripes. For my MCP I follow the instructions from the file of David J. Bullock in which the steps are described very well. Here is the link of the file to be downladed:

For my fake EFIS, using a real size photo I put the flexible light strips on the box in the same way and scotch the photo onto the leds.
You may see the details in my construction pages.
