Design, Build, Fly

I decided to drop the idea of making the GoFlight 166 enclosure match the dimensions of the Saitek switch panels. Too much negative space and I wanted to mount it on a different part of a portable cockpit stand I use (This is a tricked out GT Omega Racing Wheel Stand ). The end result turned out well but needed a revision to add a mounting hole and a recess so it would fit flush against a new Virpil desk mount . The finished project is shown below. In part 1 we used Fusion 360 Sketches to re-create the Radio Panel to get used to the tools. To build the enclosure we could have just used the outer dimensions. To organise the project in Fusion 360 we should create a separate "component" each part. We created one called "Case" and started with a simple rectangle in a sketch from the side view, making it the side profile we want our box to be. Then "E" command to extrude it along the correct axis. The result was a volume that was just slightly larger
