You plug them in and they work - how cool is that? The audio panels are bit of BS, but they look better than big gaps in the rack. And they light up too! Will fake it until I make it...<br /><br />FlyWJPFlyWJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190484375349496191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300032236678795170.post-30950659933702598122011-10-09T21:41:46.141-07:002011-10-09T21:41:46.141-07:00Can you please tell me what modules you are using ...Can you please tell me what modules you are using - are they from Flight deck Solutions or CP Flight?<br /><br />Is the rudder trim module fully functional?

True that perspex is far more forgiving than light steel.

I use a 180 tooth saw blade on my table saw to cut it down to size. With a forstner bit in my drill press I was able to make accurate cut outs without going all the way through. I too thought about using steel but my shop isn't set up for much metal work and the plastic is strong enough for my purposes. My worry was getting the paint to stick to the perspex but as mentioned in my post, this plastic primer I bought is amazing stuff.FlyWJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190484375349496191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300032236678795170.post-6332865669873704722011-08-02T21:54:40.136-07:002011-08-02T21:54:40.136-07:00Ah - funny you posted this as I've been debati...Ah - funny you posted this as I've been debating the samw question. I was thinking thin steel, but the perspex option is easier to work than steel. You could also use modelling plastic card - may work OK and be a bit easier to work with then perspexWilloWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16716608223712153390noreply@blogger.com
