This guy has made one and it looks pretty good to be fair and cheap as chips to.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bell-Huey-UH1-Flight-Simulator-Switch-Panels-for-Collective-Module-/251455491718?

That looks pretty cool. For those who want the 190.00 GBP converted, that's $316.99 US. I might have to bite at that price.

I think i would rather support this bloke than that other mob, so its about $350 AUD plus $27 AUD for shipping, + = its a huey collective and has the panels and switch's ,
- = its made of wood, and would be heavy, would probably get damaged

something to think about

Thats true Strut not a problem for me as i live near by, but he does say he can ship all the components and the collective and switch panels assembled and ship the template for making the box your self and if you ain't no good with wood i am sure Aussie could knock up the boxes his end.

I dont think it comes with anything other than the panels and lighting.

It's interesting, but as the other guys have said, it's just the compressed panel with back lighting, no frame, no collective and you still need to buy the USB controller board separately too which is another £30.

That said, it's a great idea, I'd just like a single price for a one piece center console as is in the DCS Huey with the collective.

I PM'd him and asked for clarification, because his explanations are bit vague, i like the end result, but after second thoughts his price is very high for what he is asking at present. And after following his build since he started posting its probably possible to build one if time and effort allowed.

Anyone else been tempted by this project yet?

I'm interested but would like a more clear price on the remaining parts to it like the casing and the collective lever.

not yet mate, seems pricey as well

I was very close to purchasing it, but I'd rather have a radio stack/weapons. I have a flight link collective and cyclic already from flight link. I will let this fella keep on doing the good work he doing. I want the set up but I am waiting patiently.

Got my panels today very good quality workmanship the pictures just don't do them justice.
