Dear Simmers,
I'm just curious in what the most 737 cockpit builders are interested to.
QUESTION: What are you looking for if you were to buy an 737NG Overhead panel? ( considering cost and quality )
1° An overhead panel which is fully operational ( Plug n' Play ) => Very High cost, No work
2° An overhead panel which is standard fully operational ( Plug n' Play with less attention to detail ) => High cost, No work
3° An overhead panel which I bought online without any buttons, gauges, switches so you have to make it yourself => Medium cost, A lot of work
4° An overhead panel of which I bought every part ( 18 panels ) separately and assembled myself => High Medium cost, Work
5° An overhead panel which I fully made myself ( with wood, own structure ) => Low Medium cost, Huge amount of Work
6° An overhead panel which I bought second-hand ( fully working ) => Average High Medium cost, almost no work
Please state your answer, I would love some opinion on this matter since al those internet websites offer various types which come at sometimes very high prices ( +- 6000 euros )
What are YOU looking for in an O/H panel if you opt to buy one?
Greetings,
Wout
