A built Vario MD 900 kit (by Vario)
The real thing in UK Air Support Colours
October 21/22, 2009
Still quite
grey and overcast, so as the owner asked me specifically to let him
have some pictures of the almost completed cockpit in place in the
aircraft, I have spent the last two days working on finishing
the cockpit off.
I have also,
at the owners request, added a pretty lightweight bulkhead between
the cockpit and the rest of the aircraft, with an access area
between cockpit and rear. The problem with this is that the
nitro tank is very far forward, and means that the bulkhead cannot
be full height on the port side of the aircraft.
Here are a
bunch of pictures, the seats still have to be painted BLACK on the
backs and around the bases, but the seats are to remain in
grey to provide more colour in the cockpit.
So, overall, I
am quite pleased wit the cockpit, I just have to trim a little more
wood away from the bulkhead alongside the tank to let it have some
free movement, as it touches the bulkhead at present.
The transfers
are now the proper Vario instruments, and look pretty good.
If I get the
chance, and can some suitable odds and sods, I may try to add some
more realistic switches etc.
The next task
on my schedule is to mount the NOTAR system onto the boom so that I
can then start mounting the tail surfaces. I still have to finish
painting the vertical fins, but the navigation lights are already
fed through the horizontal stabilizer and the vertical fins are
drilled out to take the LED mountings.
