Cockpit kit from D-balsa (cont)
Got a few things done.
I find using my sanding belt is easiest for removing the back of the plastic on the front console. The edges melt and then I pop them out.
Printed and sealed gauges glued to console with caulk.
Got the throttle quad and left electrical control panel installed. Screwed them to the side panel from the back side.
Throttle quad:
Drilled small holes in the slots and CA'ed some straight pins in the holes.
Drilled an 1/8" diameter hole for the dial.
Electrical panel:
Drilled 1/16" holes where all the toggle recesses are and installed some aluminum wire in the 10 holes after bending them 45 degrees.
Also used extra LED's from the nav lights and installed one in the electrical side panel.
