That's pretty cool!

 

Is it strictly sidestick? Have you ever thought about some sort of pull out platform to allow it to switch to center stick?

Cool work. Wish I had some kinf of handcrafting habilities so I can replicate something like that.

I had all those cockpits beat way back in 2008. The combination "Entertainment Console" had it all but took up too much space so I had to downsize. It's much more modest now.

Z09SS,

   Aren't you afraid you'll loose your beer in that mess?

   Nice idea for mounting your throttle and joystick.  I've been considering using pvc for a frame system but not quite as big as your pipes.

Spent alot of time trying to create an efficient cockpit I can put away when done flying. Until I can build a true cockpit, this is what I got...
