[simpits-tech] F-18 dimension seekers

[KD]

All I have are the dimensions for the A and C models. I'll have to look 
at some pictures and see of the cockpit is the same size on the C and E. 
I know the Super Hornet is a much bigger aircraft, but they may have 
left the cockpit alone because the pilots didn't get any bigger :).

> I'm new to this web ring and am wondering if I can get some help. After 20 years of dreaming, I've finally committed to taking the plunge. I plan on building an F-18E cockpit that will initially be static, but will eventually be motion-based (with full 360 degree rotation in both roll and pitch).
