allardjd 1,853 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 ...the darned USB Memory Stick with all the pictures on has gone flipping missing! Look in the slot in the computer. That's where mine always turns up. John Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 It must have changed quite a bit since the last shots! Yes it has! The Base Shell is almost fully completed, just one final remaining side to attatch. But I've also got the re-paint part of it as I applied some filler over the top of some paint, so unless I want a big white splodge over my Pedestal I better re-paint it! I've uploaded the photos now, please excuse the fact that they're not properly cropped, but I don't know how to cut them out perfectly (is there a way in paint?).

Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Monday 21st December 2009 The Base Shell has been completed! I still need to add a bit of paint, but the whole Shell has been done! Next job, after painting everything, is to add a little ledge all over the Pedestal inside (that's what most of those internal support bars are for), so that Modules (such as the CDU, Transponder etc) can be easily mounted onto the top of the Pedestal. I should finished paining the whole thing soon, then I'll start work on that ledge. Thanks very mcuh for all your support guys, and here is a whole load of pictures to feast your eyes on! Thanks very much for viewing guys! Link to post Share on other sites

Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Although REX2 is incredible, I should hopefully still have time for the Pedestal! Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted December 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Friday 25th December Merry Christmas! Also, limited construction has begun on the ledge of which all modules will rest on. However, I can't do much work over the Christmas Period as I must see to certain commitments. Thanks, and Merry Christmas again! Jack :biggrin: Link to post Share on other sites

Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Sunday 27th December 2009 The Ledge on the Bottom Part of the Pedestal has been completed and painted. This is the area where things such as the XPNDR, NAV/COM Radios, Trim Panel etc will be mounted. Please see the pictures below for details. My Radio Panels, Headset and soon Transponder will soon be arriving. Thanks! (Hopefully the cropping is better this time Lads). As always, the support on this forum is sceond to none, and I'd like to send out a special thank you to Joe Lawford, who made this whole Project Thread possible. Thumbs up Joe, and I hope everybody enjoys New Year! Jack Link to post Share on other sites

Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Wednesday 30th December 2009 Just waiting for the arrival of the first few Modules; Saitek Radios and the Headset. I'll also possible start work on the Final Ledge, on which things such as the CDU will rest. Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 wednesday 30th December 2009 Have finished the final "Ledge Piece" that will house all the Modules. It fits perfectly, just need to paint it now. I will post photos tomorrow when painted. Radio arrival is imminent (Tomorrow or Saturday). Link to post Share on other sites

Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Friday 1st January 2010 The Pedestal Base Shell has been fully completed, along with the Ledge on which the Various Modules will be Mounted. It's all been re-painted, smoothed and checked so it's a pretty perfect finish if I do say so myself! However, the project is far from complete, as over the next few months I have the Modules to mount (Radios, Transponder etc). I may even experiment with different lgihting for inside the Pedestal, to give some of the Modules a backlit effect (not all of them as some are already pre-backlit). Hopefully for definite this time, the Radios (and my Headset) will arrive tomorrow. They will be Mounted ASAP, so that's something to look forward too! These radios will give me complete COM1/COM2/NAV1/NAV2 functionality, whilst the Headset will eventually plug into the GoFlight Audio Panel (but for now my PC). Enjoy the latest photos!

The red barron 41 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 WOW! where did that come from! hope that the radios ect arrive soon. Have you put something on the top part to make sure that it will hold all of the equipment? where is the cat! Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 WOW! where did that come from! hope that the radios ect arrive soon.Have you put something on the top part to make sure that it will hold all of the equipment? where is the cat! Thanks very much TRB! Unfortunately whilst my Pro Flight Headset did arrive today, the Radios didn't. They may still arrive, but I'm hopeful they'll definitely get here by Monday. If you are referring by " Something on Top" to some sort of Ledge (to Mount the Modules onto), then look at the photos above and you'll see the White Ledge on top. This is a flat, wooden surface of which the Modules will be Mounted onto (you'll see when the first Modules arrive). Link to post Share on other sites
