At work !!

 

The color seems pink because I didn't use the camera flash otherwise the text of the central display would have been dark green.

The wood panel is really "handcrafted" since, unfortunately, I don't have a garage where I can use tools, so the look is pretty "raw" (everything will be covered by the engraved panels anyway).

As you can notice the VS control is in the place of the CRS2 control: this is temporary till I will have found a good way to fix it in the middle of the keyboard panel (with the shaft parallel to the main panel).

Some control is still missing (ON-OFF-HOLD selector, display  panel, BANK button etc) but anyway I can set most of the functions needed for a "keyboard-mouse free" flight !

 

 

The new engraved keyboard and keys (thanks to a friend) are on their place!

The wood structure has been reworked to fit the new keyboard.
