Building The Falcon NAV chair

[SofaKing01]

THAT IS SWEET! I was going to build mine from MDF... you set the bar WAY too high!

 

[Fuzzual]

that is fantastic, congrats on that brother!

Hey thanks. It took quite a bit of work to get this far. It ain't over yet though.

If anyone wants help with dimensions, just let me know.

 

[Fuzzual]

Do you have a list of parts/material that you used? or more WIP photos?

 

[Stormy320]

Well - so far this build has been more about research and finding the ejection seat . It took years to find the right seat.

Now the building will begin.

 

[Stormy320]

A little progress.

 

[Stormy320]

Does anyone have a really nice image of this?

 

[SofaKing01]

Very cool!

Finally found the right kind of rubber tubing (half round).

I'm dang glad to see this thread again!

 

[SteveStarkiller]

can't wait to see more of this

 

[Stormy320]

Alright. Here is more.

I need to trim the edges.

thats looking good, i own the screen used ones.

if you get the right seat its just a matter of cutting it down and not much has to be been added.

the only thing is they are very heavy

I'm either showing up on your door step to see a real one, or hopefully you can share a picture or two. Wow!

Stormy, any more progress on your chair? I think we would all like to see.

 

[Stormy320]

Thank you for the interest. Not much progress, but I will try to post another picture soon.

I'm dedicated to this project, but have a large work project that is slowing things down along with our hot weather.

I need to get the grinder out and cut the sides off of the chair. Need to work up the guys to do that too .

Anything new to report? It's been several months. Anxious to see!
