After three months spent on planning, ordering, building that thing - it’s finally ready to get me through first proper flight.

Flew around TNCM, then a short IFR route near my hometown.

I use it with VR passthrough, and that’s completely another level. Loading flight plan, startup, taxi, takeoff and landing - all that felt completely different than just flying with stick and throttle.

Next steps:

1. Glareshield with annun lights and floodlight

2. Audio panel

3. Physical fuel and load gauges

4. New flaps mechanism

5. Backlit panels

It’s amazing to finally stop building for a while and start flying again

Still a long way to go but I can finally stop building for a while and start flying.

Next:

1. Glareshield with annun lights and flood light

2. Audio panel

3. Physical fuel and load gauges

4. New mechanism for flaps switch

5. Lightning (backlit panels).

I was very happy to do a short flight in Caribbean with everything working as intended
