Glareshield Buttons Added
June 29, 2002
Although the glareshield still has a long way to go, the most important switches have now
been mounted. The pushbuttons are from Eaton Aerospace and are from a 767 I believe (Maybe
even a 777). They have a really heavy "click" to them, and are double
illuminated (engraving and status bar are seperately illuminated). On the left side of the
first photo, you can also see the three Korry switches that I have installed for the
display control buttons.
At this angle, you can see that the glareshield converges in the middle to make monitor
clarance. Unlike many other builders, only the face of my glareshield is quickly
removeable. The rest is attatched with screws (and angle brackets) to the monitor bases.
