Howto:Build your own Panel or Cockpit - Planning: Difference between revisions

Ok, maybe you know everything you need to know to build a professional looking full motion 747 simulator in your garage.  I don't.  You probably don't either.  There's stuff I need to learn and stuff I think I need to learn but don't  Plan on spending time educating yourself about things you'll actually need to do. Here's some examples from my plan:  Electronics to the level where I can choose circuit element values in a design.  Drafting Skills. CAD Software usage. the list goes on.

If you keep track of what you need, and devote specific times to learning with specific objectives, you'll be ahead of the game.  Start with "I want to do X - Now What?"  Ask yourself what you actually need to know and go as directly after that as you can.  Experiment a little with what you learn.  Be prepared to trim out any items you can do without.  This is not a college course.  Nobody's going to give you a grade, mark or certificate.  And as Yoda says: "There is no try, There is only do or not do."  Spend your time wisely.
