Well my passion for flying was really brought back a few years ago. And then I was introduced to flight simulation on a pc (with the exception of google flight simulator). I played with a mouse for a while then I bought a joystick. Well, that I guess wasn't "good" enough. So I took it somewhat apart an built a throttle, but still had the joystick. A little more realistic. I then made rudder pedals. I tried to build a yoke and I broke the joystick. OOPS, I then bought a CH Products flight yoke. Well, I now had a throttle, rudder pedals, and a yoke playing on my laptop. Which is really not high quality but it worked.
      One day I wanted to set it up permanently. AND THAT IS WHEN IT ALL BEGAN... The summer of 2014.  Nothing great, I build a mip, instrument pedestal, and side parts. I chose to make a Boeing 737-800 ng home cockpit. Well, a little more than half of it (space restrictions). Also, thanks to www.737ngxca.com and www.737ngproject.be I made a throttle (my third one) that turned out looking fairly good.

 

Oh I also printed out a forward overhead panel. Can't remember where from.

Thank you Lord for giving me this opportunity.

Also the budget side of this, I didn't spend much at this point. I got the wafer board from my dad, had to buy a couple things for the throttle and bought refurbished ink from ebay (highly recommended, so much cheaper).

This is only the beginning. I have started blogging a while after I started the project so I have to get caught up.
