HOME COCKPIT from DIY to OEM
A lot has already been written about airplane lifespan, maintenance and dismantle topics. Still, I decided to summarize some of them and what I learned while searching for original parts. At the end this topics are sort of basis for
I guess snowy winter nights are ideal for new accomplishments. I am really happy I stored all the electronics as I just managed to assemble one working RMP from all previously gutted INOP, BER, and I guess the last one

Well, after a long, long thought I decided to start with this cockpit building blog and hopefully at some point useful resource page. Many friends and other cockpit builders wanted this so I guess it was mandatory… It might be
With Airbus FBW system there is no direct link of sidestick and flight control surface movements, everything goes through SEC, ELAC and FAC computers. Computers will actually in regard to flight envelope protection, move flight controls according to pilots command
I have been trying to motorize trim wheels for quite some time now. That is one of the last things I’ve been missing on pedestal. There are many examples of motorizing the trim on the internet using stepper motors, servo motors,
Uh… I did not use them much but the F/O sidestick had a squeaky sound in elevator/pitch movement! This squeaky spring sound was getting only worse and louder. I figured that sound must be coming from within pitch artificial feel spring rods (p/n
Well I honestly thought I will never have a genuine Flight Control Unit! Why, because I didn’t need one that’s for sure. I was quite happy with CPflight replica unit, although it’s far from perfect. And because genuine FCU units where almost
