    Perhaps the most complicated – and once more, expensive – aspects of building a one is the Forward Overhead Panel which will likely set you back anywhere from $1000 for an extremely basic one, to (more likely) $7000 to $10,000, possibly even as high as $12,000 for a fully accurate and articulate design.

    Not that i want to build a simulator but there’s none with Arduino or Raspi?

      I mean, these days, if you’re good with general fabrication skills and you’ve got a 3D printer, you could probably get a fully physically accurate instrumentation setup for 10-20% of that.

        If you live close enough to an airplane salvage, the switches are really the priciest bits.

        Some basic microcontroller knowledge, plus wood and a drill is all it should take.
