Some progress
On the 45th day since placing an order on Simkits.
I hope to get this company to cut the upper panel using simkit's publicly available cessna.dwg. I bought some construction material like acrylic (plexi) in Praktiker and 1mm and 0.5mm thick aluminium sheets at a local hardware store. Also ordered some small parts (gears, shafts etc) from here.
I looked at the programming aspects of driving an LCD module (I have a Displaytech 162B module, 2x16 char with backlight) with the digital clock in mind. It is quite straightforward, especially since Nigel has a very good tutorial.
