Some 15 years ago, Hiro in Japan has already been flying his favorite Cessna’s on his home cockpit.  His current setup was built on Saitek’s cockpit frame, with bountiful of gears not only from famous brands but also handmade.

Builder: Hiro
Location: Tokyo, Japan
ICAO: RJTT, Haneda Airport

Project Notes:
I like single-engine light aircraft, so I mainly fly with the Cessna aircraft.  The little photo on the right was the cockpit I made about 15 years ago (cockpit frame is homemade.)

After that, I purchased the great cockpit panel by Saitek, on which I assembled my current cockpit as shown above.

The main monitor was originally mounted on the rear wall, but now it is held by monitor arms attached to the table.  Therefore, it requires two people to move the setup, if necessary.

Back sides of the buttons on the FIPs are masked with paint in my case with reference to Tom’s “562: Turn Off FIP Button Light the Hard Way”
