TM Warthog HOTAS in an F/A-18 Super Hornet Cockpit (home built)

Home built F/A-18 Super Hornet cockpit for use with PC flight simulators.
Recently installed a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and decided to compare with CH USB HOTAS for reference for those considering the two.
Check here for a message board thread on how it was constructed:

All gear purchased from "PC AVIATOR" in Brisbane.

***NOTE: you can now purchase F/A-18 cockpit panels from here: thesimulatorstore.com. I plan on buying some of their products soon, looks fantastic. ****

Great job .looks great. I want to build one too. Just have a basic sim which doubles as a lot of different aircraft. Where is the military surplus store? Regards Dave B

@linlu17 Here is the URL to the 'George Taylor Stores" surplus store in Colac Victoria Australia. They also had the full canopy for a 2 seater Hornet but it was huge. I could barely fit the windscreen in my car.

People like you never stop amazing me with your hard work, dedication, and above all your skill, wish I was clever like you. Well done.

[Fumbaga]

@fylde456 Wow thanks mate, (and also to all the other nice people here). Honestly anyone could build one like this, I'm not a great carpenter or anything. Just need some spare time and a burning desire to have been a fighter pilot.

Were did you get the windscreen at? Awesome cockpit! hope to build one similar to yours soon.

@Legendary588 George Taylor stores Surplus/camping store in Cola Victoria. It was many years ago though.

That is a completely realistic cockpit to build I think you have done a great Job and I can't wait to get started on one of my own!

Do you fly Jane's F/A-18 with your TM Warthog? If so can you tell me how as I need to make a 'single virtual controller' in TARGET and don't know how.

Looks awesome. That windscreen really finishes it off. Are you going to make another sim video with the new stuff you put into it ?
