Thanks Thierry,

I forgot, the big red handle on the left of the speedmeter is the handle to release cable

More comments from another pilot:
The canopy on the Rallyes is opened by a handle that controls a hook at the top of the rail, where the control for a ventilation flap is located. The canopy can be left ajar in flight or fully retracted for parachute drops.


For the rest I suppose that :

the handle "L" would be a control flaps hood to limit the thermal shocks on the cylinder heads and cylinders; to my knowledge this option is not installed in France but in the Nordic countries why not?

Possible "N" command is the electric fuel pump (it is not clear if it is a switch [probable] or a fuse?). In the case of the French Rallies the switch is located at the "E" or "F" location

Switches "E" and "F", could it be the control of a cable reel and the control of its guillotine?

Ergonomically, the throttle control for the pilot (which is invisible on the picture), is located next to the left side wall, where the pilot rests his forearm.
Don't forget the elevator trim control (wheel on the left side wall)
The rudder trim control is not shown on the picture (which allows the pilot to limit the efforts on the right rudder at full power during the climb).
note: it would be nice if you could see the rear view mirror with the image of the glider.

Hi Thierry,

Thanks for all the info so far, it's a good addition.
This is how the cockpit is already modeled at the moment, nothing is final, everything can still be adjusted quite easily and added if more photos become available.
The instruments will mainly be Condor standard and will not be installed by me. What you see now is the panel as it looks from the outside.
The propwash rudder trim is applied when it is clear where it should be and what it looks like.
Isn't position M the second trotlehandle for instruction?
I'm working on the textures for the outside at the moment,( Not what you see in the picture, this is temporary)
When these are ready I will post an image here.
I'll keep you informed.

Greeting,
Jan

Some nitpicking about the colours: the fuselage underside, wing & tailplane upper surfaces and the wide horizontal stripe on the rudder are painted the same colour, which is closer to cyan :

Some adjustments of the ciaan blue and the textures outside are ready, I've seen 3 different painting versions, this seems pretty close to me.

Blue logo fits better with the rest I think, so yes.
