Great work with the jigsaw! I'm just waiting here for my CNC router to start building OH frame. 😅

[@TheHornetProject]

Very cool mate!

[@TNT-tf9jd]

My dream come true process, I will be making a ka50 pit though.

[@xblade3774]

That would be awesome to see! Record it and post it if you can!

I started this build and did the same thing on the front. Just did four ribs instead of what they had down. Only thing I don't like is the top instrument part. I would rather it be flat like the real one and 3D print it to extend out to hold the DDIs and other stuff.

[@Aviation_Maverick]

Hey, can you give me the measurements and the images please?

[@d3us3xmach1na5]

I modified the whole thing to accept the winwing mips today. 3d printed new backs for components and it actually looks better imho

[@amonggaming3825]

@@d3us3xmach1na5 Where did your find the instructions to build the wood process of the cocpit i cant find them, im also gonna be trying to make the winwing stuff fit

[@DomdeRoissy]

Hello! Very, very nice. It's possible to receive the plans in paper form (scale 1:10 for example)? Thanks

[@d3us3xmach1na5]

You can convert the sxf files to pdfs and print them on paper.

About to start this portion of my OH cockpit. What did you use to skin the outside of the frame?

[@seb9150]

Cool. Medium 3mm

[@gregmcdonald1021]

I cannot find any plans on the open hornet files just 3d files

[@seb9150]

You need to explode 3d model and print parts by yourself.

Salut Seb !! Ou en es tu de ton home cockpit ? depuis 11 mois ...

[@seb9150]

Salut Tom, L'électronique a bien avancée, je bute actuellement sur le multiplexage des écrans OLED de l'UFC. Une ou plusieurs vidéos devraient arriver d'ici la fin de l'année. cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/592742847648759808/1178036628581777418/VID_20231125_190512.mp4?ex=6574af1b&is=65623a1b&hm=6787309b8753cc58b010e95e6861b543386c9a7899bcc90f0a15340fa9f228e8&
