This week I'm continuing to work on the controls and trying to relate the diagrams in the manuals with what I can see and access in the cockpit itself. The rudder pedals were still locked solid despite another spray and soak last week so I've removed the starboard set for better access so I can work on them on the bench. They seem to be in good condition and are complete. Looking underneath at the other set I'm confident I can relink the two sets and integrate the motor required for the VPForce system which will provide haptic feedback as well as reading the position values of the pedals in the simulator.
I've also started some preliminary work on setting up the first of the arduino microprocessors which will read inputs from some of the switches and buttons, but more on that this weekend all being well.
