Hello all,

A small update. I made the cabin and the instrument panel before installing it. I'm not so pleased with the pilot's stick. It's way overdone and looks somewhat "baroque". Next time better. The bracing of the side panels is a bit dangerous because the side panels are so tiny that they would easely be deformed. And indeed the seat belts are immense compared to the chair. Sorry if the pictures are a bit on the dark side.

Kind regards

Your cockpit is looking, awesome, my friend.  Keep up the great work.
Cheers,

Patrick, you are coming along wonderfully with the Tripe!  I think the
cockpit is really looking the business.  Your instrument panel is superb
and the bracing and control wires are right on.  Super job, my friend!
Now I'm anxious to see your next updates. ;D
 
Cheers,
Ernie :)

you are making excellent progress Patrick, the instrument panel is superb, I love the wood colour you used, the rest of the cockpit is really well done.

That is sooo familiar! ;) Great to see one of these Tripes under way, again. I wish you as much pleasure as I had building N534.

I feel the same way! Your work is looking excellent and I too hope you continue to enjoy your Tripe as much as I did mine!

Hello Bud,  Ernie, Des, Przemol, Rick and Paulo,

Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragements on my build of the tripe. Although I'm rather pleased with the result so far, it will never come as close as the fantastic builds you all made and are making. These words coming from such master builders are very hartwarming. Thank you all.
For the next one I will definitely have to exercice on the woodgrain because up to now it is rather flat.
Thank you again gentleman!

Very kind regards

Patrick

Hi all,

A new (small) update. I closed the fuselage and followed the advice of Przemol, Rick and Chris by painting first the cockpit closing. Thank you for passing by.

Kind regards
Patrick


some small retouches need to be done


i'm beginning to dislike the pilot's stick more and more
