Ok guys here's the scoop on the Dynamic Balsa cockpit. DONT SET THE FLOOR AT 6" like the directions say to. 7 1/4 is more where it needs to be. At 6" the rudder peddels hit the bottom of the bulhead...

Not bad for $80.00. The Dynamic Balsa one is much more detailed and true to scale. Look closer at both. Just depends on what level your going for.
