Hi,
I started to build my home cockpit , don't have a big room, so have to make some consessions regarding measurements.
What I would like to know is , is the angle of the overhead panel about 16° relative to the floor?
And the front of this overhead panel , where the landinglights are is this +/- straight above the full cutoff switches?
And finaly, what is the width of the centerpost?
Thanks
Ivo
31.5 inches from fuel cut off swiches the window centre post is 7 inches the height at rear of ovhd from floor level is 6 ft
the ovhd frame is 31 and 3/4 wide to outside edge and 62 1/2 inches long
the ovhd centre post is 3 iches wide and 35 inches long inside measurement
the frame thickness is 1 inch a little line and one big one ..lolololol
Thanks mad hatter,
Ivo, perhaps it would be best to draw a diagram to show the dimensions you mean (to prevent confusion).
I gave some dimensions to someone a long time ago and he created some drawings. Unfortunately, I can't remember who did the drawing to give him credit.

(EDIT: One of the original drawings)

I have one diagram which shows the overhead panel at about 18 degrees (relative to the floor).

Note: I can't remember if I checked the floor angle. The aircraft may have been tilted.
