**** How to build a Cockpit ****

We will show you, a Cockpit building process by steps.

Just take a look in to the pictures, the explanations, the necessary material

and all the necessary Process Steps

1 - Complete cockpit building device gauge

2 - Complete cockpit building device gauge

3 - Vacuum cleaner connection

4 - Pre-heating system in the top

4 - Vacuum cleaner conection in the bottom

5 - Cockpit molde

6 - Cockpit molde

7 - The Plastic , is the same used to build the Coco-Cola ; Fanta ; Sprite etc,... bottles

8 - The thickness is around 0.70 mm

9 - Is also nice to use different plastic colours in this case is transparent

10 - The plastic is placed in to the gauge

11 - The aluminium frame will help to make the correct positioning

12 - fixing the frame

13 - Pre-heating the plastic +\- 30 seconds

14 - If the temperature is to high the plastic will became wait and will became scrap

15 - After the heating time the plastic frame should be forced down and the vacuum cleaner will assure the cockpit contour

16 - The frame should be maintained in this position until the plastic temperature will go down

17 - After the plastic temperature will get cold, the vacuum cleaner should be disconnected.

18 - Frame Disassembling

19 - In this phase the plastic should be separated from the cockpit  gauge

20 - Defects analysis

21 - Separation process

22 - Separation process

23 - The compressed air is a very important tool to separate both parts (to avoid damages)

24 - This separation process ( with compressed air ) is the best solution ( fast and easy )

25 - End of the process

26 - The Cockpit

This system was completely developed by Mr Jorge Santo. At this moment we need only 5 minutes to build one new cockpit
