A 'not so timely" update.
The project has been on hold while I get the new workshop constructed. Hoping that will be by the end of this month.
The 18ft x 20ft (5m x 6m) workshop will be a much more comfortable home!
Below, the finished HASC Holder. A few amendments were made to the form after contact from a project follower who
has an original unit. Changes include lightening hole in rear, raised area for parachute clip and full firehose flap, not part metal.
The value of "knowing people"...

True but even better if he's around BEFORE you finished the original piece! Great work Darryl. Man I would love to have a 20 x 18ft shop!
Good stuff Darryl!

Cheers Gents!
I also put the shrinker stretcher to work on the instrument hoop. The bottom rail is just for support until mounted in the fuselage.

Thanks Gents!
Work on hold just now as I am organising the new workshop. Should be finished by end of February with any luck.

I presume you will be putting a sign over the door - Darryl Aircraft Production.

You'll have to post pictures when you get it all set up

Now you can build the whole Spitfire around your cockpit!

Hi Darryl,
Glad to see you're still keeping busy. Any sign of a completion date in mind, or is that a silly question?

Like we say for our Mosquito restoration: "Tuesday."
Hi Darryl and everyone else!
Darryl... amazing work so far, I'm flabbergasted to see your 10 year determination and skills!
Can't wait to see the progress.
I'm working on RC aircraft and I have a 1:7 MK VIII with an 18cc 4stroke engine nearly finished.
I am completely designing the cockpit in 3D and then 3D printing everything.
I have a very hard time finding dimensions of all sorts of items, but currently I'm working on the seat + structure.
I'm looking for real life dimensions, as I scale it down to the correct scale when printing it.
Do you maybe have drawings with dimensions on all sorts of cockpit items?
If yes, are you willing to share it?
Take care and keep up this crazy project
Cheers,
James from The Netherlands.
