Slid a couple 7" LCDs behind the bezel. (Sycmaster U70 fits perfect). Can't wait to get the front panel finished, but this works for now.

Oxygen Regulator is on the left side panel behind pilot, so I doubt that has anything to do with it.

Haole- Welcome to our forums! I'm sure I'm not the only one excited to have you around. 8) I have a pit related question for now, I'm sure I'll have many more for you. I'm fabricating my ICP / HUD housing right now, and I'm wondering about this little thingamabob: http://www.summerthunder.net/images...

Very nice Estopa! Is your DED from a Logitech G15 keyboard? I got the new one with amber display for mine, but then decided to get one of the older ones with flip up LCD because it's larger. I like that amber display though. 8)

Actually Burner, this started out as LD's response to an email sent to me by Teej, and copied to LD...but since I learned everything I know about left wing from you, I guess you can be the wizard! :wink:

I'm not sure I really want to add it all up. :wink:

I'm thinking I've got a little over $10,000 in it at this point. You have to be the one to decide how involved you want to get.
