My 737NGX800 Homebuilt Cockpit
My Favourite Links
- The site of Claus Hansen
The place for great inspiration for me. Claus demonstrates that many things
can be achieved for very economical means.
Claus is always willing to answer my questions.He can make amazing equipment
using items found around the home or at the
local hardware store which leaves more money avalable for those things that
are a 'must buy'.

FlightDeck Solutions Purchased CDU from FDS Jan 9/2013. April of 2013 puchased Bill Bulfers 737 NG FMC guide. I highly reccomend both of these items. The support from FDS has been very very good. When my CDU malfuntioned the repair was prompt and my only expense was shipping the CDU to them for repair. CDU now works great and I am a happy camper..er flyer.

- Wendy's Site. Pokeys, led display cards, encoders and more. Very reasonable prices for products and shipping and prompt and professional service.
Supported by Prosim . These are awesome cards, easy to use and very powerfull. I hope that Prosim will incorporate servo support for the Pokeys. Product support is excellent and Wendy is always quick to answer any questions one might have about using these products.

PMDG 737NGX Originaly I had based my build on the PMDG NGX but due to increasing limitations and lack of support for cockpit building, I have now moved over to the Prosim Avionics suite and will base my cockpit on this suite and the Jetstream Flight model.
