    Hello of all Member,

    Well my name is Paolo Alleaume and i live in Mauritius beautiful island for some of you who did the trip over here. First of all thank you for accecepting me in this wonderful forum on, well i'm planning on building my own Boeing 767-300 flight simulator using FSX and Level-D Simulator. i have started with help of a group of fellow builder's on yahoo who is building the same plane B767 with all type of different files to help us through the building part. i already started to build my Throttle Quadrant and also planning to make my own CNC Machine for cutting Panel parts. Also i got a big help through the net for all different documentation about the Boeing 767. Once the cockpit will be functioning i would like to build my own motion sim project. I know that i'm in the right forum for the motion part and hope that i could share the progress of my simulator.

    Here is three attachment of my Throttle Quadrant.

    I thank all of you in advance for the help i will get from you and hope also to help you in the matter.

    Reagrds,

    Paolo Alleaume

    Sweet they look like they the real size and all. Top effort.

    Do you have an estimate on size, and weight. Proberly gunna take 240v unit to move it.
    Wow keep the photos coming, love reading about unique stuff like this.

    Hi Robbie,

    Thanks a lot, yes the throttle is the same size as the real one. Normally the cockpit size is around 2m35 x 1m95 but the only thing i don't know yet is the weight. i'm also working on the shell design so this might take long to finalize. i'm actually also working on the room space but the wooden part of the cockpit has already been cut and the rest will follow once my CNC Machine will be ready for panel cutting.

    i will post some more pictures soon.

    Regards,

    Paolo
