This is my first effort at building a cockpit panel for use with flight simulators. It is a basic bottom panel, modeled loosely after a Cessna 172.

The only switch left to add is the magneto/starter switch in the blank space on the left side. I will probably build my own, based on this product. Check out the brochure link at the bottom of the page for construction details.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a split toggle switch at my local electronics surplus store to use as a battery/alternator switch.
Here is the USB interface portion of the excellent (and free) MJoy16 controller I am building on some .100″ perfboard.

IT WORKS!!!!!!
Thank you Mindaugas Milasauskas!
