The rudderstands are this week's finished. The ruddercompartiment is made in 3 parts :

• Ruddervloer
• Raised rudderstand
• ‘Rudder Pedal Adjustement’

More info and additional photos about the construction of the ‘rudder of stands is to be found on page Hardware/MIP/Rudder stands.

Now a few drill holes for the cable routing and we can start on the painting of the MIP and CDU-stand, stand-up rudder stands and ‘Rudder Pedal Adjustement’ part. The ruddervloer is coated with a thin aluminum plate.

Since there was no real Co-pilot (F/O) is provided for in this flightdeck setup is the presence of a functioning F/O Efis is not necessary.

The opening, the F/O side, is now filled with a dummy efis. So only a cover with inscriptions and the 4 buttons.

More info about this on the page Hardware/Efis – Dummy Efis

The Lower panels are off. The subpanels are for the time being just inserted. After the paint job be finished and mounted. These subpanels will serve to backlights of the MIP and indirect lighting allerhanden to arrange.

Also the back of the MIP is sealed with MDF panels.

More info and additional photos about the construction of the ‘lower panels’ is to be found on page Hardware/MIP/MIP Stand-Lower Panels.

Now I can start the ‘Rudder stands.
