Finally – the altimeter is done
After about 2 months of building the altimeter has been finally finished! (more…)
The Altimeter is (nearly) finished
Just the baro settings display and connector plate are still missing, everything else is working fully inside the instrument. (more…)
The first Instrument – Altimeter
Another thing on my todo list for the sim are fully working analogue instruments. (more…)
New Throttlemount – finally finished
