DHC-2 Beaver

#1 Post by Ralph »

This weekend I took apart the base/floor of my EC135 sim, which was a never ending project. From the wood I made a DHC-2 panel. It's all made by guessing dimensions, from pictures. And I couldn't really make round corners, at least not easily. So it's mostly straight corners. The whole dashboard is going to be wrapped in fiberglass with polyester coating.

For the flight model I'm going to use the SoulMadeSim DHC-2: http://store.x-plane.org/DHC-2-Beaver_p_395.html
I'm going to make some instruments soon, and upload them to the 'store'. I'll keep you guys posted.


It does not really look like the real thing. But it's as good as it gets :)

I'm a bit short on time lately. And I'm waiting for good weather so I can do the coating outside. So it's all going very slow now.
