I don't actually have a personal website at this point.  This page will serve for the moment as my work on flightgear is about the only public work I'm doing.

Build a C172 Panel with gauges, instruments, controls and radios built from the ground up.  No commercial sim products.

I want to do this as cheaply as possible using readily available materials with polished results similar to what is being used in commercial flight simulators.  I want to have fun doing it and make friends with others with similar interests.

I have a lot to learn in order to do this project.  Small steps are needed.  Lots of them.

A project like this needs a detail plan and I'll be sharing mine on this wiki.
A project like this needs a detail plan and I'll be sharing mine on this wiki for others to use as a starting point for their own work.  Since its a wiki, you're invited to join in.


For now, I've identified the eight categories of work. Tasks for some of these have been identified and are in progress.
