Instrument panel – Attitude indicator

This gauge is in the middle one in my panel of backup instruments and I also completed it as the middle one, that is, second in order. This was the first instrument where I stumbled with a 3mm covering plexiglass and the original model from Captain Bob (subsequently also in other instruments).

Instrument panel – Airspeed indicator

The airspeed indicator was the last of the 3 backup “gauges” I built into the cockpit instrument panel. It is also the simplest of the three backup instruments in terms of connection. It only contains an LED for backlighting and one X27-168 stepper motor, which can be controlled directly by Arduino, i.e. without another electronic board.

Weight and Balance Sheets

Today it is going to be short…. maybe. I think, one of the areas where we might caught ourselves cheating a bit, when using flight simulator, is aircraft weight and balance. Yes, some aircraft addons have special panels for controlling Continue reading Weight and Balance Sheets
