Anybody here have access to a Garmin G1000/G1000H? Starting my design of a 1:1 Bell 407GX Dual-Seat Flight Simulator, and just had some dimensional questions. Hell, if you are local, I'd love to come out and measure and model it myself. (I am located in SE AZ)
I can go as far as Phoenix as long as we can meet during the evening on a weekend - I drill for the Reserves in Scottsdale)
And if you have access to a Bell 407GX....Well... I'd like to be your friend! http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/smiley_abused.gif
I'm going to start with the G1000, and work my way out from the Main Instrument Panel around - I have a heavy background in design and engineering in the aerospace/defense industry, but this is just for a personal project.
Anyways, anybody that either has access to, or can give me good dimensions of the features of the front panel of the G1000 would be appreciated - I spent the last couple of days reverse engineering from the low resolution pictures from the brochures, and am having a hell of a time finding good high resolution pictures of the 407GX cockpit.
