CDU - Bay Last update: Mar. 2016 |
Captains CDU (Mar. 2015)
FMC/CDU unit from Opencockpits. The M4x40mm
screws and fasteners are not inclusive
To fit my CDU-bay I have modified the CDU. I removed the back
plate (acrylic) and cut about 30mm of. The two alu. parts (1,5 mm) are new
fittings for the back plate and the VGA connector.
Back plate turned 180° and fastened to the CDU again.

Back of CDU. Access to connectors (VGA-12V power-USB) are now
very easy. I don't use the TV out connector.

First Officers CDU (dummy) (Jan. 2016)
I have used a CDU panel from Opencockpits for the
dummy .
Frame for lower DU is self made of MDF and acryl. Frame and dummy CDU are both
mounted on a 3 mm plate of acryl.
I have extended all functions bottoms with a piece of
3mm acryl
Bottoms are mounted with double adhesive tape
Lower DU (Mar. 2016)
14" LCD screen from my old defect notebook PC. Now again
alive with a LCD Controller Board Kit from AliExpress (US $ 28 incl. shipping)
The LCD is mounted on the top of a 3 mm acrylic plate with pieces of
double adhesive tape. On the back the Controller Borad Kit is fastened by M3
screws and distance bushes.
Unfortunately my old LCD is 4:3 format so it
can not cover the hole dummy CDU display too.
I think a 15" LCD 16:9 format will do the job.
Power connector and board with VGA connections are mounted on
a self made piece of 1,5 mm alu. plate
Buttons for power on/off and screen configuration
To give enough space for the LCD screen it was
necessary to cut out in the profile in bottom of the MIP
Now the LCD just fit the bay
