Thanks for the reply the another day Karl. The description you gave of your achievement was heart felt when describing the moment you walk into the sim and feeling the ambience of this fantastic project. I felt like I was in the cockpit with you and sharing. Only wish I was 30 years younger, had lots on money to start my own however watching you build your sim is pleasure enough for me... Be safe in Bruni!
This is what I hate about 3D printing. Coming back after hours of printing and finding everything in a mess. Good that you don't give up. And finally we saw that magic bottle at work.
Hi Mickey, Thank you and that made me chuckle. I can only imagine what you thought why there was a sprite bottle hanging from door! It works and very simple! lol
Try some PVA glue to hold down problematic parts like that. Just regular school grade glue stick. It's sticks well, when hot and is easily cleaned with water afterwards. It will change your life!
Hi Guy, Thank you for the suggestion, but i have now used FROG tape from amazon. That too works extremly well and prevents any bed warping. Kidn regards Karl
It's fun watching Karl's mind work a problem out 05:29. While I tend to use more "colorful language" while using Fusion, Karl just makes it sound so relaxed and cool, like it's going to be a surprise to everyone, including him how he's working it out. :) Keep up the great work man! Love supporting you and your project! Give to his Patreon everyone if you're not already!
Thank you! I started too many projects at once and haven't actually fully finished any yet. But some are really close. EFIS should be done in the next 24hrs, followed by the FMC, then the seat adjustment mod!
@@helimech8152 No worries, it is what it is. This is something I'll never be able to do so I love watching you do it. You even got me into building my own FCU.
Hi Samuel, thank you. This video was nearly scrapped, because I lost all the good camera footage. Hope a more interesting subject up next! Kind regards Karl
You need to just have these machined in steel. The 737 maintenance manual calls for setting the roll centering to at least 13 pound inches at only 2 degrees of deflection. The values acceptable can be up to 120.25 pound-inches at 75 degrees roll deflection. The elevator force at 145 knots per the maintenance manual should be about 19 pounds at 2 degrees of deflection and 35 pounds at 7 degrees. The test calls for a airspeed to 370 to equal 37.5 pounds at only 2 degrees of column deflection, that would be upwards of 100 at full deflection. On a non force feedback set up like yours, you would want to set the controls to approach speed forces. Disclaimer-The elevator forces in the maintenance manual are for elevator surface deflection, I had to convert them to column deflection. The ratio should be 1:1 but in the real airplane the cable tensions between the column and feel and center unit in the tail would probably cause the yoke to feel to vary slightly away from what I calculated.
Still no intention to build a sim myself. Watching anyway, though. Entertaining indeed. Also I did like that Vlog vibe when you were walking around the house holding your camera... could do this more often, if you asked me.
Hi Danno, Thank you for the feedback! I'm on it and I find that's much easier to film. Its just straight, no thought videoing! Thank you for following along! Kind Regards Karl
Morning from Italy Heli Mech! First of all wow! What an impressive and brilliant job you are doing! Managing work, this project, and the website together must be very difficult but you are killing It! I am working on a different project and i have truble with wire connections, from the power supply unit to the hardware pins. I have been working on it for weeks but i feel there is something missing. If you could fine a bit of free time to explain how you physically made the wirings i would be very grateful. In the meantime you earned a subscriber! 👍🏻
Hello Samuele, drop me a line in the website chat with a photo of what you are trying to achieve and i will hopefully be able to help! Thank you for the awesome words, Kind Regards Karl
HI HaJee Es, You are right, It's a lot to learn, but what i like about it is how there are so many different ways to achieve the same thing. Find what works for you and go with it. Fusion is one of the best things I have ever self taught myself!
Hey Karl! I am always motivated by your new videos. It inspires me to see you working so much on your simulator even with a day job. Thank you so much for also showing the Fusion 360 techniques you use. I learned a lot from seeing this. Thanks for all you do, Trevor :)

Wow, great video, im going to 3d print the yoke and throttle so i can have a little flight sim in my room
That's a great way to start and all you need to add a bit more realism! Kind Regards Karl
Wow, found this channel last week and I still can't truly believe what I'm watching! Incredible workmanship. Keep it going.
Hi Neil, Welcome aboard and thank you! Fantastic hear. Kind Regards Karl
The legend returns! Keep the the amazing work
Hello Joergen, Humbled by your words and thank you. Kind Regards Karl
Keep up the great work, one day ill make a sim as well
Thanks Dean. Now busy on the next build.
@@helimech8152 awesome
Incredible project

My favorite TH-camr, I was wondering when a new video was going to be posted yesterday and here we are.
Thank you! I started too many projects at once and haven't actually fully finished any yet. But some are really close. EFIS should be done in the next 24hrs, followed by the FMC, then the seat adjustment mod!

This vid made my day!
Hi Samuel, thank you. This video was nearly scrapped, because I lost all the good camera footage. Hope a more interesting subject up next! Kind regards Karl
Can't wait to see more sim in action. Thanks Karl
Me too lol! I will fit proper cameras to the cockpit from this point on, and use OBS to capture the graphics. Kind regards Karl
Awesome work! Always a good day when you post a new video!
Thank you! Not my best work, but hopefully the next one will be better. Kind regards Karl

Well done sir and thank you for this valuable information. A true legend and will hopefully add this to the website! Kind Regards Karl
You are the Best! keep it up
Thanks, will do! Always great to see your still following along! Kind Regards Karl
Great repairs there Karl love the way this doesn’t faze you, excellent vid once again, keep up the great work loving the videos as always 👍🏻👍🏻

@@helimech8152 Will do asap, thank you sir
Fantastic!!!!
Many thanks!
Nice, as always. I also like the Fusion 360 part. Very powerfull piece of software once you get to know it. Still have a lot to learn I'm afraid. ;-)

Hello Trevor! So i learn your name. Hello and thank you! Kind Regards Karl
Was just about to go to bed.....
Hello Andrew, I get lost in the world of TH-cam too. Especially if some posts something unlike to follow.
Hi. So long time.
Yes, I hope to speed things up from now on!
