Default C-ARF Tucano cockpit ideas?

I understand that the fellow that used to make them does not anymore.

Any ideas on what else would make a good substitute?

Thanks,

Beave

You must be referring to Mike or wingmanrc how it was known around here. From what I understand, he went through several health problems and he couldn't fulfill with all his commitments. I think I was one of the lucky ones that received the Tucano cockpit before he stopped answering (it took me several months of calls and e-mails....).

Unfortunately, I haven't heard of anybody else in the US making a cockpit for the Tucano which is a shame, since the plane is a beauty and it needs a better cockpit. Maybe somebody could convince a company like http://www.dbalsa.com to do one.

By the way.... the wingmanrc cockpits look great but they are very heavy.

Hopefully you can find somebody to help you.

Thanks for the link to dbalsa.

From what I'm remembering, somebody told me that the Airworld Bae Hawk cockpit could be used in the Tucano with some modifications. I think it was Ali..

DelGatoGrande was also using an Airworld Bae Hawk cockpit in his Tucano. Hope this helps.

Regards.



P.S.: I will give your regards to Michel

Hey Boli, I was doing some searching and I see that Skymaster is coming out with a 1/4 scale hawk in the near future. It would involve a kit bash, but I would suspect they will come out with a cockpit kit that might be reasonably priced and provide the materials for the Tucano.

Airworld Hawk canopy fitted pretty well for my Tucano, and looked great.
