Today, I went in raw — just how your momma likes it. No checklist, no notes — just me, the Cessna 172, and whatever memory I had from old YouTube tutorials and my early days in the 152 😅. I gave it my best shot with a full cold & dark startup, trying to remember switch positions, fuel, beacon, mixture, mags... the works 🔧⚡. Did I miss stuff? Probably. Did it start up? Heck yeah! 💥🛩️ If you're new to flight sims or just like watching people wing it, you’re gonna love this one.

🛠️ My DIY cockpit features:
🎮 Saitek yoke & rudder pedals
📻 Dual radio panels & full nav/autopilot controls
🎚️ Two throttle quadrants & switch panel
🖥️ Two touchscreens running Air Manager
🌀 Two knobsters for smooth instrument control
🪚 All in a home-built setup made from scrap plywood and 3D printed parts!
