It's been a busy week with almost everything but Hunter stuff this week and coupled with the weather I've not done a lot of work on the project, but I do try and get an update out here every week so here goes:
I took a closer a look at the control column parts I picked up last month with a view to stripping the column down but it's pretty well seized so it went into the box with the rudder pedals and considerable amount of penetrating oil, I'll come back to that another day!
I also 3D printed print a rough test print of the 'centre' instrument panel this week. I've been offered a couple of original panels since I started the project but so far they're all from 'export' models with different instrument layouts so I'm making a start on a reproduction, which I'll get laser cut. Thanks to Joe for the basic measurements. I'd love to hear from anyone who has an original T7 centre panel available for sale/trade (one is bound to turn up once I finished my repro ;) ) or anyone who can help me get measurements for instrument placement.
I'm looking for either of the two T7 layouts in the following manual images (TACAN being the difference)
