The force is strong in this Jay737 I think.

Just imagine, the rear center gear of the 747 has an upper part, then a middle part (damper), then a lower part that hinges and also steers at low speeds. 4 main gears, one front gear, all retractable, more than half of them steering.
You know I newer really appreciated detail like this but I'm sure I will now
Looking good. Love the progress.

Amazing detail. I really would be prepared to pay for this when it's done.
Jay, I'm really impressed. Especially that you're really taking your time for all the details. I look forward to seeing how your development continues.
Best regards,
Thomas
Impressive attention to detail!!
Absolutely promising aircraft !!! Cannot wait, it is my dream plane, really hope to see this beauty in our hangars says....for springtime 😄? I know I know... it probably requires some more time, but...let’s hope 😉.
Would be great to have normal tires, tundra tores and wheels/skis versions (to explore and land on Switzeland DLC glaciers 😜
Amazing detail. I really would be prepared to pay for this when it's done.
I´m also looking forward. Looks very promising - I think it will be great!
Oh no. You need a metal frame, not wood. ha. Nice.

Jay,
I want to congratulate you on the progress. It is wonderful to see this, and it is inspiring.

Thank you..
That looks great
In terms of panels, I like the one he put in at the moment (though just texture I'm guessing). It allows me to add a bit of glass cockpit functionality, which would be pretty awesome I think. Plus it has that autopilot on the left, which could be nice to have. I prefer the tach with a needle though, don't know about you guys, maybe you like the led circle thingy better?
I like the round gauges in the Cub. A GPS and AP would indeed be nice but can that be done while everyone is chomping at the bit to see it fly.
I was listening to the sounds of that 180 hp Titan engine. It has a deep, throaty roar and is fairly loud at cruise. Unfortunately, they were using an iPhone to record the sounds.
I am amazed at how fast Jay is moving with the design. Zooming actually.

video showing available ready to install panel options. Synthetic vision and AP in a cub. Wow.

Synthetic vision is probably not doable yet and touch inputs would be limited, because there is no actual touch input but it may be implemented in Aerofly in the future. I would like to attempt programming that, I think I could show off some nice programming skills with fading effects, animated pop ups etc. The artificial horizon is probably easy to do and the airspeed tape and altitude, HSI etc. can just be adopted from existing code, so that is also easy. And the digital engine gauges on the left would also be simple, maybe even the moving map overlay in the lower left corner could be possible.
The CGR-30P in the world vfr panel would probably not be an issue, thats relatively easy to program.
The mypanel could also be interesting, then I could also mimic some apps but it may not be as cool as having the glass touch.
Ray, could you maybe do some research on what is actually put into the carbon cubs? Maybe its possible to have more than just these 4 options and combine some features?
Jan, anything that will fit in the panel can be installed in the kit version. I am talking with a guy in Tennessee that has built two and just ordered a third one. He says he starts with a basic panel and adds his own instruments and avionics. One was the most basic with a portable GPS on velcro in the middle the second has the ipad in the middle.

Maybe we should opt for two versions, the World VFR first and then maybe the Executive Glass Touch later on.
I like the large steam gauges of the world VFR panel and I think we could add the autopilot panel underneath the center area.
And it doesn't have to be the garmin 796, if we use a generic tablet computer we could almost get the screen size of the executive touch.
