Since I had free today, I just worked further on my Trimwheel.

The rings are drilled, and painted twice with clear varnish. In the meantime I drilled the holes in the front and backplate so that I can screw them together instead of riveting. Also I marked where I have to cut my 3 holes for the trimwheels.

After the rings have dryed I screwed everything together just to see that the aileron-trim-wheel is a little bit to deep and touches the rudder-trim-wheel. Also it touched the plate which holds the rudder-trim. So I had to do some adjustments.

I will later detach the rudder-trim-wheel, lathe the disk a little bit again and mount it 180° turned. So that I can get rid of the 3 spacers.

Here's a pic of the backside of the backplate. As you can see the screws are sinked, so that it can be fitted on my 2 Saitek throttle quadrants. I also sinked the screws which are holding the rudder plate.

And the last picture of the day. Trimwheels assembled in harmony...

Ok, they have a swash of 1 or 2 mm and a runout of 1 mm. But I think it's ok for me.

Edit: It also helps to pass the time and calm the mind until the patch is ready. Some others should try it too, instead of ....
You know what I mean.
