		<title>Constructing the SFS box, Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This update is going to bounce around a bit &#8211; I&#8217;m presenting the pictures in the order in which they were taken&#8230; Here are the two SFS box shells right off the ShopBot: Each one as mentioned before is made from four layers of 1/2&#8243; Baltic Birch plywood. Space cut out for the Nose Wheel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Constructing the SFS box, Part 2.5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to my local acrylic monger yesterday and was captivated by this huge block of gray UHMW.  It was _begging_ to become an SFS box. The block was about 10 inches long, 8 inches wide and 2.5 inches thick.  I needed to pare it down to 1.75&#8243; thick first&#8230; You can see the UHMW [...]]]></description>

		<title>A minor interlude&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday (19Dec09) I had the privilege of working with an independent filmmaker.  The beginning scenes in the movie involve a couple of guys in dire straights after their F-15D suffers a catastrophic engine failure.  He was lucky enough to get access to an F-15D that he could use to film the actors, but he still [...]]]></description>

		<title>Constructing the SFS Box, Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I cut the first SFS box core on the ShopBot: I went ahead and deleted the additional pocket operation that would have inset the aluminum box cover.  Now it will more accurately reflect the original part. A little bit of finish work will be required to correct the bottom edge profiles where the AP/NWS [...]]]></description>

		<title>Constructing the SFS Box, Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The F-15 uses a very interesting system for the roll and pitch control &#8211; it&#8217;s both Fly by Wire and mechanical interconnect. If you were to pin the stick in place with your knees, you can fly the jet by pressure on the grip all by itself, just like an F-16. The magic for this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Working towards the SFS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I finished hunting down the missing 5 1&#8243; oil &#38; hydraulic instruments I couldn&#8217;t find last weekend.  Of course, they showed up in the last box I could search. Here&#8217;s the result of my search &#38; sorting operation: The design for the Stick Force Sensor box is completed.  The SFS box is just about [...]]]></description>

		<title>The AWG-20 PACS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Dave is both a god of both graphics and avian photography.  He&#8217;ll be writing the software that will show the various screens on the AWG-20 PACS or Programmable Armament Control Set (also known as the MPCD or Multi-Purpose Color Display) Below is a test display he wrote for me and I&#8217;ve put my [...]]]></description>

		<title>IFF panel is finally completed!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s taken a LOT longer than I would have liked, but I was finally able to finish wiring the IFF panel today. There are only two more panels to build completely from scratch before both cockpit side consoles are populated with the right panels.  I&#8217;m going to return working on the DIY cockpit that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>EW panel completed&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a number of delays, I finally got the EW panel completed! Here&#8217;s what the panel assembly looks like: You&#8217;ll notice that I&#8217;ve abandoned the tiny nylon wire ties in favor of waxed lacing cord.  It looks a _lot_ nicer and much more &#8220;authentic&#8221;.  Waxed lacing cord is used on &#8220;real&#8221; panels in both commercial [...]]]></description>
