B777 Kits
|
(Thanks to Joe O. above pic) B777 Flightdeck Package Info The B777 is a wonder onto its own. Pure glass flightdeck and a super clean layout make this one of the most popular flightdeck subjects. So many builders are looking at this setup and it should be a treat to finish up and fly in. The 777 takes a new approach to Airline design with its massive twin engines. Sales have proven it to be a winner for Boeing. From a kit standpoint it offers a great deal of accuracy. Joe Ozegovich and Robert Prather provided data that allowed us to get very focused on detail and if scale is what you are after in a kit then this one should be high on your list. The Yoke may pose a problem for some though commercial versions are available. Kevin Saker has detailed building your own Yoke at www.flightsim.com in the "How To" section. Worth a look. Mike Lehkamp has also managed to create a realistic looking yoke on his 767 Project. The B777 will take some computing power with several monitors needed for filling in all the LCD screens. Don Lafontaines FREEFD, Enrico Schiratti's Project Magenta or Robert Prathers PROMFD will take care of the software end of the biz in this unit.

| I need a new digital camera, this one I have is "ugh"... Above I am holding one of the MCP panels included. I cut two versions, one that allows top mounting of AML type switch and the other for rear/flush mount. (Thanks to Roberto S. for the AML sample) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

This pricing grid details the kit parts in sections allowing builders to purchase in steps. The vertical rows show the kit parts in sections. All the parts and pieces are available in groups or separately. The laminate parts can be very handy should you need to have lettering or "Film" type switches for the overhead or pedestal parts. We are using laminate all around to get a uniform finish. Wood only kits are possible with proper paint and thinking ahead on switching. Here
is the color sample for the panels:
