Here are some pictures of my Piper Arrow project. Since I own an Arrow, I thought it best to start with this model. I hope to get FAA certification in the coming year. I have worked in the simulation industry for over 30 years and this is the perfect platform to market my capabilities. I do contract work for some of the major sim companies and I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities.
I've had some inquiries about some of the custom instruments I've developed for my Piper panel. Its quite simple. I only changed the hardware and faceplates using Paintbrush. Here are some pictures of the mods I did to the Piper hardware to accomodate the servos. Calibration was done with the normal SimKits software. They look and work great. I can supply the faceplate .jpg files if anyone is interested. Also included is the latest shot of the panel with the radio stack installed. Yes that is an actual working Bendix King KMD 150 stimulated with Pete Dawson's GPSOut software. It listens to NEMA sentences over a serial port. It was too easy to believe and is very accurate!!
After an absence of more than a year, the kits are back. But not all kits, just the USB Aircraft Gauge Kits. We’ve received so many requests from customers to bring back these kits, since they are very easy to construct and even easier to modify to a different gauge, that we’ve decided to bring back the USB Aircraft Gauge Kits
At this moment we are doing a photo shoot for the TRC 472. The next coming months we will change all our product images with new and better pictures. So, more to come!
The TRC 472 Cabin is finally shipping. We’ve made some extra images to show you how fantastic the Cabin looks. Next week we will have new studio quality images, including detailed interior images. For now, enjoy these pictures.
