Today is a very important day-its the championship on parachute sports .Its once in year so better not miss it.We work fast so that will remain time for watching the show.We took out some panels,windows and seats.Here are some testimony about that:

Not a big day.We have been at the airfield and i got a really poor spotting of the planes that were there.

Some of them:
Romanian plane "Festival"

Russian Antonov An-2

My Iak-18T

Polish "Wilga 35"

In the evening we did some work,but we where in the expecting of tommorow.
What will be tommorow i will tell you tommorow...





These are the elements from the front panel,we will make 100% copies of them.
This white thing is the rear window of the plane,its stand in matrix right now,so that this matrix could gain her frame and we could make by this ,matrix a 100% replica of it.

A nice start of the day in the Vadul Lui Voda Airfield


Thats it for today fellas.

28.08.09 Working as hard as we can

Thats me,protective glasses are as proper as they get,a piece from the drill shotted me in face one minute after i put them on.

Practically,we work without free days.We need to finish the renewal of the cockpit till 6 september,but at the same time we need to make the drawings for the simulator.
Here is what we've done so far:


Me working : so hard to polish this yoke...




Half work is done...The effect is stunning,they are as bright as sun.We will made iddentically copy of them.

26.08.09 The day the work stood still

This day was set as free day.

25.08.2009 - "The humble beggining"

Today we started.I guess you'll see all the work on the photos.
We removed the yokes ,rudder pedals ,front panel and all its components,and the radio station .
I guess for a day of work that will be enough.
Here are some photos of our work :

Little introduction about the work we do

This is our hero:)He was landed without landing gears,and it have been damaged a bit,but its still exploitable.We got a job to renew the cockpit,and by the way ,we (our simbuilder team) will build the simulator using all the information and skills during the renewal of the real plane.


We dismantled the wings,because they would only cause trouble when working.

Introduction

Welcome to the Iak-18T Simcockpit page.Here you will find a lot of information about my project.
2 weeks ago ,i've got a chance to disassemble a real flying Iak-18T plane.I got a lot of stuff to do and i'm glad I could achieve so much information about it,its easier for me now to bring my project to life.

Stay tuned and watch the process.This one will be a slow one ,
because there is a lot of work to do there.
