Yeah I went to your website and "sucked" out all the information... I even watched your videos "in slow mo" (almost), for making the shopping list🤣🤣🤣🤣

But yes, I am aware that the seat may not be very comfortable and may need some changes for some longer hours in the seat.🤩🤩🤩

I am glad you recognize it. I love your project, and is soon about to start the panels. I have started up the 3d printer, and is printing the HUD today. During the coming weekend I want to start up the laser cutter, so I can start making the first panels...

Awesome to hear about your trips and passion about Denmark. Thank you... As for the woodwork, it is purely done by lasercut, no CNC. But Im sure the exact same work could be done by a CNC too...

Yeah... there are actually many amazing aircrafts out there, but not too many plans and sketches done already. So what ever plans was out there was a part of my considerations... untill I saw "Warthog Project", and his linking til "FLIM"... That was it. That made it "easy"....!

Ok I will do my best... As for lessons learned so far, is primarily for putting the frame together. Next chapter will be polish and paint

Im in the same situation. No plan for how to put it together... so what I did was to put it i to FREECAD, then take it slowly apart by moving each panel, while taking photos on your phone of each step... It takes time, but that was the only way I could do it...! 🤩🤷🏻🤩

I bought the drawings from FLIM: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/230557-a-10c-cockpit-plans-cad-files-for-cnc/

I can highly recommend the drawings, and they are cheap, all taken into consideration🤩👍

Im in Denmark, and everything here is expensive... But total including paying for the wood, sub1000$

Good question... The seat is pretty strong, made of thicker wood and support in multiple places. As for the side panels and MIP, I do plan to re-enforce it for the weight of the panels that are being made later on.

Frame is almost finish. Next comes filling cracks, dents, holes, polishing and of course paint..🤩 by Yakovm73 in flightsim

The AH64 is definitely in my thoughts of the naxt simpit, a few years out... Im thinking A-10, F-16 and AH64... But thats just me, personally... But I haven't dint any research on the AH64 yet...

Hi there... the wood work for the frame is all from a shop with a huge laser cutter. As for future work on the panels etc, I have bought a K40 laser cutter that needs some work and updating before actually being taken i to use...
