Today the 9th of march 2005, I start dismounting cockpit n° 2 to reorganize the basic structure before
mounting the new cockpit.

I finished to swap the old cockpit out of the cellar. This gives me an opportunity to show how
the main structure is built. I shall keep and adapt this structure

Meanwhile, I have piled up all the electronic in my workroom !!
|

|
The next steps are to clean the cellar room, to perform some maintenance on the main screen
(see picture) and
to establish a clean distribution of high voltage (220 V) and video signals under the main floor.

Main screen maintenance ended. Old PC1 floor dismounted. New floor for 3 PCs achieved.
|
The reimplantation of the new cockpit on the plateform of cockpit n° 2, which I keep, is a little bit critical.
I need to ensure proper accessibility within a very constraint space. The map on left is the result of necessary
compromises. And now I need :
- to dig the left wall shoulder to allow for the angle of the joystick - tiller box. It is the first thing to do
because it will come out a lot of dust.
- move the pilots seat to the right
- prepate a base for the center pedestal
- recenter the pedalsr
I keep as it is the width of the passage behind the pilots seats (41 cm less the overflow of top of backs), nor the
principal floor width from nose to path (134 cm).

I finished to reorganize the girders. It seems to be quite nothing on the picture, but I had to move and saw at
new length more than half of the girders.
Next step, redimensioning of the wood floor.

I finished to put the new floor. The white paper sheets visible on the picture are stencils representing the surface occupied by the
center pedestal and the side joystick box. You can clearly see that this second sheet overflows onto the wall shoulder and necessitate
to dig the shoulder according to the red line. Waiting for the necessary tools; I start the electric supply for 220 V.

Here is the main distribution map. In black 220V power, in blue the PCs start lines, in green the video.
