Home build cockpit

[THERION]

Hi everyone,

 

I just want to share some pictures of my DIY cockpit. Actually for me it is definitely a prototype as I wanted to

collect some experience. If you have questions don't hesitate...

 

Any comments are very welcomed. Thanks.

 

Cheers

Good setup, but this inclination in lateral panels for throttle, etc, is not good for your elbow.  

 

And center stick ideally should have a ~15-20 degrees twist for left - don't know if this is possible in X-55/6 - to became more natural for wrist.

It is probably best to use the stick on the side, but if not make sure your hand rest on your feet while flying. 

My stick in tis picture was wrong and I had to adjust it more to the left. to get it right, when I fly choppers I have only 2 fingers on the stick and the hand rest on my lap so every tiny adjustment I do is microscopic
