This gallery shows Stephen's start at a C172 cockpit. These pictures were taken end of March 04 but I haven't had much time for updates during April.
Here you can see linked yokes.
How the aileron axis is linked.
top view. notice the drawer slides for the elevator axis.

from the back.
holding the horizontal board
all in all very simple and cheap to build setup.
Several days later... with instrument panel built, working linked pedals, an attitude indicator (with 2 servos) and a fuel gauge for both tanks. (small coils like from a analog voltmeter)
closeup of the fuel gauge. real simply built. consists of PCB material (frame), two coils, a plexi front and a printed scale.
the attitude indicator. built from two servos, very similar to simkits' version, but using PCB material for the frame and other parts. See later pics for more details on that.
Indicators. made from printed overhead transparencies, LEDs and hotglue.
the same lit up
attitude indicator in night mode
same for the fuel gauge
fuel gauge at night with empty tanks
inside of attitude indicator. the servo does the bank
from farther away
not a very good shot. the pitch servo. The front of the instrument is at the far right.
better picture of the pitch servo
the front, as seen from behind. the pitch servo again on the lower part of the picture
