--Homemade Cockpit picture thread--please post yours---

[miraj]

It seems that more of these are popping up , and I am always looking for ideas for improvement .
So please , if you have one , post some pics.I would love to see what others are up to.
 If you know of a really nice one , share the images.

 I'll start with mine , built last Feb. , the only changes have been minor adjustments in the seat position , and a cupholder.Mine is located in my study , so it does not interfere with daily life around the house, but is still considered a nice piece of furniture.

 

 

 

 Here is a nice one I found , it looks like it used for driving more than flying. Cool!!




 Another , with a cat , very cozy.

 

Here is a nice one , great gauges, needs a larger monitor.

 

Whoa! this cant be home made , but it is neat.

(yeah I'm getting too old and lazy to climb in and out, guess the thing needs a relief tube too)

Visit AVSIM and the home cockpit support forum, say it's been a while since some of those guys have been laid.  

Then there is this guy building his own U-Boat room.

LA on home page...dweeb

I built up an "open cockpit" a few years back for to allow for the use of projector instead of a monitor:







It's comfortable, converts to driving and flying games, and it breaks down into components with just an allen wrench for easy transport.

Yeah, it's ugly homemade furniture, says my wife, but at least it made the "furniture" classification!

Look in the post above this one. I have a (poor) photo of a projected 8 foot wide image.
