Nice...!!!, I almost missed this, there was A TON of AP`s loaded this a.m., there really should be a daily limit to that.

Beriev Be-200
Martin JRM Mars

other planes on my radar but farther down

I`ll look at the options later, to much to do right now....

I like the Douglas XB-43.

 

[asj5547]

XB-43 and the HE-177.
The Blackburn B-20 is an unusual seaplane, the lower section of the fuselage extends/retracts to use as the float,
Only one prototype was built, and test flown, unfortunately the ailerons had excess flutter sending a heavy vibration throughout the plane, all six crew abandoned the aircraft only three survived.

the panel

 

[uncle twist]

Those look fantastic, dare I ask, are any going to work..???

Yes blade angle, rpm, and airspeed.
Not likely Vertical Speed Indicator and altitude but if I can figure out how to get a VSI (likely out of a multirotor controler) I can integrate the output and get a crude altitude number.
Half and half for the turn and bank indicator

 

[uncle twist]

VERY COOL...!!!! I can`t wait to get in the pilots seat and check it out......

 

[legoman]

more painting and throttle block

 

[legoman]

they are all working except the slip/skid indicator. a slip is the tail trying to pass the nose on the inside of a turn, (not enough rudder) a skid is the tail trying to pass the nose on the outside of a turn (too much rudder).

 

[uncle twist]

AWESOME..!!! Legoman, That`ll be OK if one doesn`t work, I imagine that one would be very difficult to set up in the physics. Thanks for the slip/skid explanation,....never too old to learn something,, ...It`s really coming to life with graphics.
