Roles:

CAD Team: Help design the Cessna 172 Simulator – Work on certain parts and ensure they fit nicely into the Cessna 172 Sim System.

Stress Tester: Take the C172 designs, and push them to their limits. Report fractures and suggest improvements.

Beta Tester ( 0/3 slots filled): No, not testing Beta fish! I’ll share projects that I’m working on and you can assemble them and provide feedback. (I’m always open to feedback from anyone! Email CaptainBobSim@gmail.com ).

Documentation Guru: Make instructions for building existing (or new) parts. Compile tips and tricks to help aid new builders.

Dimensioneer: If you have access to a Late Cessna 172 (C172R or C172SP), share any dimensions for design confirmation! (Especially helpful – how deep things like knobs are, and how much travel things have).

Speed Demon: Try to optimize the Cessna 172 Project by finding “life hacks” that make building the C172 simulator easier and more fun.

Rotation Master: Rotate .STLs to be easier to print.
