I'd like you guys to go over the final draft of the manual to make sure
that I haven't missed something obvious or made some stupid mistake. :)

http://www.geneb.org/pitkit/series_one_cockpit.pdf

The manual is about 7.5MB in size.

Once the manual is declared ok, I'll put up a link where the plans can be
purchased.

Thanks all!

I don't wish to be picky but you say you are using 2" x 4" but when
making the base up you mark a centre line at 1 3/4" which means a width
of 31/2 inches not 4. This may lead to some confusion. I believe what
you are using is whats called CLS in the UK which is 3 1/2" x 1 1/2". If
we ask for 4 x 2" here we are likely to get just that, which may cause
problems.

This may be the case for the UK, but in the US a "2x4" isn't that and
hasn't been for decades. :)

So you're saying that if you go into the UK equivalent of a Home Depot and
asked for a 2x4 you'd actually get a board that was 2" x 4"?

I have a friend who recently immigrated here from the UK. He was building
himself a 30' x 60' barn, and insisted that the plywood sheathing went on
the INSIDE of the walls and the Insulation went on the outside. The building
inspector told him he could build it the way they do in the UK if he wanted,
so long as he enjoyed pulling nails and doing it over again!

I have about 30 houses under my belt, and like you say Gene, I haven't seen
a full 2 x 4 since we used matches to light our smokes.

If you tell someone who knows no better that they need 2x4 they will ask
for 2x4. If they can't find it in their local DIY superstore they may
try a timber merchant ( where it would be cheaper anyway), they will be
sold 2x4 or its metric equivient 100 x 50 which is still the wrong size.
If you only plan to sell in the US then no prob but elsewhere it may be
different. No criticism just an observation.
The pits are fantastic both in design and construction and may well
encourage many more lunatics over to the dark side of cockpit construction.

Thanks for all your hard work.

I'll make a note in the docs about this, just in case. Thanks for the
clarification.

Thanks Dave! I figure if I sell 10 plan sets I'll be stunned. :)

Big Kudos to Gene for taking the time to jump in to my issue and

Thanks again Pal

oi!!

Putting the insulation on the outside seems to me to be about as crazy
as anything gene gets up to.

If it's any consolation the diy cockpit project seems to be about as
popular as a radioactive waste dump.

12x12's would make a great catapult frame though. :)

I'm seeing very little signs of life from other sim markets as well. We're pulling the plug on a few endeavors in search of greener pastures.

oh god... here he goes... expect plans soon folks.


Incidentally, a 4x2 here in the UK is a very nominal size. It's become a
name for what you merrycans would think of as framing timber. It's
certainly smaller than 2"x4".

The same is true with sheets of plywood. Although the field sizes might be
about right (8'x4' for example) the thickness is never too accurate. I
seem to recall vendors of router bits supplying odd sized cutters for
making rebates to take plywood.

One day - I'll do some woodwork again... one day ...

Looks like I'm getting a Typhoon cockpit to play with soon so my
days/nights/weekends are going to be sim filled for a while.

Roy.

That's not surprising. I think a 2x4 here is actually 3.5x1.5.

I'm not parsing "rebates to take plywood". Can you retry in American
English instead of English English? :)

Good for you. The woodshop finally has all the walls up thanks to Rob.
Not long now before we'll be able to move all the sawdust generators out
of the shop.

According to my contractor friend, here in the UK it's referred to as
"scant". No, I don't know why either.

I think the term "rabbit" might be the one ?

Nope. :) I think this one falls into the category of "I understood the
words you said, just not in the order that you said them." :)


Rob & I painted a good chunk of the shop floor yesterday with some epoxy
based floor paint. It should look pretty nice.

Heh. I painted the floor of "the cave" with a nice grey non-slip epoxy.
It looked really really sweet. Then I pulled in the sea hawk cockpit and
used about a gazillion gallons of paint stripper. bye Bye floor.

Ahh! A slot on the end is a rabbet, a slot in the field is a dado. Two

Ouch. Was it a two part mix or just a single can?

We used both types as that's what I'd purchased a long time ago. The
single can stuff was used around the perimeter of the space, the two part
was used in the middle area.

Rob wants to put a "Caution: Jet Wash" decal on the floor. I think it
would be more fun to have a bunch of little "NO STEP" signs everywhere. :)

If your going to put the "Caution: Jet Wash" decal on the floor it would be
way cool!!!
BTW for grins one day I had some blue ramp lights, I think about 6 or 8 of
them I put them in the ground
along side of the driveway... I really wanted to put a white strobe at the
center of the drive.. but I resisted the temptation....
looked really pretty from about 3k AGL over the house..
But the "Housing Nazis" gave me a freeken ticket and ended up in local court
(I had to take them out) :{

My wife made the suggestion that I paint a "chalk" body outline with a "NO
STEP" stencil next to it. Reminds me why I married her. She's just as
screwy as I am. :)

Tried sending this a couple of days back.. but it appears to have
vanished into the great interweb abyss ;-)


Well whadaya know! I finally updated my sim-blog (See Gene, told ya I would!)

http://www.simpits.org/seang

I'm in the middle of testing a nice little piece of hardware in my
sim, a simple USB board which reads 4 rotary encoders, and drives 8
relays. I am using the relays (well 6 of them anyways) to drive my
gear indicators, which I liberated from the Queenair hull I
bought. Neat bit of kit, and is the prototype for something which
may just be coming to a website near you soon.....
