Anyone build a cockpit yet with pilots, did you piece the instrument panels from various other intrument panel kits or has anyone found one that will fit the tub panel? How about pilots? Any good place to find one and what size?

Thanks Johnny,
At first I was not going to do a cockpit, but changed my mind. I'm waiting on cockpit parts to do some independent gauges and knobs. I will mold the displays and other parts. Though a twin seater I'm only going with one 12" pilot. Hoping to get this done by the end of next week.
Rgds,
Keith

We have decided that the new step for the VIxen will be cockpit, wing tanks and pylons and nav lights, soon we will have it available

Wagner great news and looking forward to seeing the results which I know will be superb.

So here is a question to all you owners and potential owners, should the cockpit be a single or a double? When I designed the Vixen it was a single cockpit jet with a long cover over the instrument binnacle and the pilot sat about central, behind him a nice area for detailed electronics, pipes, vents etc to give some interest.

What's the consensus?

Pylons look stunning as we CAD'd them early on in the process, there are hard points in the wings to accept them already.

Mine will be powered with a ATJ 190SV that's sitting here waiting for her to arrive!

Wagner sign me up for the pylon and tanks when you get them going to match my paint scheme!

I vote single seat. I always thought single seat UB was a huge improvement, but that's just my opinion. The Vixen with pylons & tanks is going to look SUPER HOT! That's a fact

I vote for the single. I was going to make a nice cockpit and even bought a 1/6th pilot. But since I have a sport scheme I decided to do this temporarily.

Thank you for all the inputs, that makes easy for us to do the drawings once looks like everybody is asking for a single seat cockpit. Lights will be available soon, cockpit and wing tanks takes a little more time once we have to design and mould them.

Nice, been waiting for someone to choose this scheme, one of the original schemes.

Wagner, great to see the single cockpit will be done, looking forward to seeing the designs.
