This blogger chronicles the building of a Cessna 172 simulator panel using MS Flight Simulator 2004, joystick peripherals, and actual Cessna parts. The aim is to construct a simulator close enough in dimensions to the real airplane to serve as a humble beginning to eventual real pilot training.

Dad makes a type of grommet to fit over the electrical coupling for a better fit on the panel.




Here is the first look at the panel and the pieces that are to make the yoke.
