The folding handles (pilot grab handle) with the corresponding mounting brackets are ready for use.

The plastic coating on the handle, I have removed and the entire handle, painted black.

To these handles to attach to the ‘front-ceiling’, I have brackets made from aluminium U-profile 20 mm.
With what saw, and vijlwerk are that easy to make.

Later, the brackets with handle built into the mdf-panels of the ‘front-ceiling’.

I'm already a while busy with the construction of the ceiling (ceiling) in the cockpit. This I divided in 3 parts :

• Front (front ceiling);
• Eyebrow windows;
• Rear (rear ceiling).

Currently, the front is practically finished. This is the part between the ‘windshield’ (front windows) and the ‘forward overhead. There remains for me only the necessary works to carry out.

This front is composed of 2 mdf panels of 12 mm (Capt and F/O). These mdf panels rest on the window frames and are screwed down against the metal cockpitframe in which the ‘overheads’ are confirmed.

After studying different pictures on Airliners.net I have this mdf panels in the middle (the left and right of the compass) with the necessary details (+-) that are found on the ‘real thing’.

The ‘front-ceiling’ is also provided with the necessary folding handles.

After the necessary schilderbeurten and assembly follows a more detailed explanation + of course with the accompanying pictures ...
