September 29, 200718 yr Hi,this is my attempt to build a replica of the autopilot module of the ATR 72-500.Keyboard panel and keys were made and engraved by John Russell (you can see its home cockpit in my website, Cockpits section).Many things are missing but key functions, CRS, HDG, ALT, VS and NAV1 selectors (rotary encoders CTS-288) are fully working.The entire module (including displays, rotary encoders and Master Card) is managed by a program that I developed according with the FCOM.Soon the wood structure will be painted in black.It's really a good sensation not to use computer keyboard and mouse to activate the autopilot functions ehehI hope you like it, regards.Bob
