Genuine MIP frame and screen modification.
I am still busy but I managed to work a bit on the genuine MIP frame. You might be asking what is there to work… Well fitting the screens in there can be quite a challenging task! You will be faced with
Sidestick transducer pots.
After Jürgen shared his direct transducer pot output approach with linear output conclusion, I knew my log results might have be premature but that was the output I first got. This somewhat logarithmic sidestick story fitted so well and everyone I consulted with somehow
Radio frequency dialog bus among three RMP’s.
After successfully putting together that one working RMP it was time to find another two for testing frequency dialog bus between all three RMP’s I was interested in. The remaining two RMP’s where supplied by APOC Aviation, one of my favorite
Interfacing RMP, second attempt!
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
Sidestick sensitivity?
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
Motorized trim Wheels.
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,
Sidestick spring repair!
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
Flight Control Unit.
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
Sidestick pots instead of transducers.
Sidesticks use two sets of transducers, roll and pitch. Stick movement is mechanically transmitted to transducer units located below the sidestick frame. Transducer have multiple potentiometers inside, that convert stick movement to signals and send them to flight control computers.Genuine sidestick units in
Original Sidesticks.
I finally managed to get hands on the illusive original sidesticks. Must say this is something completely different than using Logitech attack joystick. I guess everybody knew that, although not only for obvious smooth and heavy stick movement but also the grip
