@icer very nice - I am wondering if you can share one that is editable? I would like to change a few switches if you don’t mind sharing.

That one is editable, just need a PDF editor. What format would you like, i’ll see what I can do. I have Adobe, but i’m looking at a Free PDF editor here to see if it actually works…
Edit: Works great, just remember the white dots are objects and can be moved so if for some reason you are off a bit it is easily adjusted. The text is easy to edit/move/do whatever you want with! Try it by saving the original and work with a new copy, that way you can always fall back and start over if you somehow botch it all up…

@icer thank you. i will definitely play around with it.
-
I’m interested in this too, I have been thinking about it just the last week, thanks. I will have to think about what I want where.
-
@mypc if you guys come up with a slick way to cut the holes please let me know, I bought a ~10mm hole punch and disassembled it so I could just push/twist through the paper using a piece of cardboard underneath.

@icer i used a standard exacto knife

I started with that method but i’m not very “crafty” so looked for an easier way. I’m going to order these and use a plastic cutting board as a base, for €12 its worth a go as I want to whip out a few for all my other Jet/Helo/WWII sims also… and will make it easy/fast to reprint/modify at will.

<p>@icer <br />For a hollow hole punch set, wouldn’t you just use scrap wood underneath it? It might damage a cutting board/mat<br />(I don’t know, I’ve never used one). With a punch set you tap on the end with a hammer so I’d assume it works better on wood. If it’s just paper it wouldnt need much force though. <br /><br />Good idea, although I don’t know if I have a punch large enough.<br /><br />Of the options so far, I’d go with a hole punch on top of scrap wood to get a clean cut.<br /><br /><br /></p>

<p>Thanks so much just printed it out and using it. I have been using just a piece of paper with hand written words on it. It worked for 5 years but this print out is a complete upgrade. It is the little things thanks for taking the time to do this. Happy flying!</p>

<p>@mypc I’m thinking the 12mm will work ok for me, punches arrive today so we shall see. I’m hoping I don’t need to “tap” on these to get a clean hole through one sheet of heavy photo paper, would assume it’s sharp enough for a quick twist to do the job. I can always put a better edge on the tool with my Dremel if necessary, and I have some wood it that ends up the best way to do it! Ideally if there was a deep reach 12-14mm hole punch it would be wonderful, but i’ll be darned if I can find one!<br /><br />EDIT: Punches arrived and while they are pretty sharp twisting with hand pressure isn’t going to cut it (pun intended). Will try hammer/wood punch next…</p>

Away from home until this weekend, drop me a PM and I will send you a new link… I did finally find a long-reach 13mm hole punch from China…

Will put up a link to the template, and after a LOT of searching I found THIS 15mm Punch, perfect for this template
Try this for the template…

@Icer amazon had a punch too . .
thanks -
@Jim_H glad you found one, Amazon (Spain) didn’t have anything. Now I find my HP color laserjet (M254nw) won’t print glossy on my glossy paper for some reason when it did before… very strange.

@Icer maybe this helps someone else i found them here

Yes, took a couple weeks but it came and works great - Link is HERE
-
@Icer Thanks, but is that long enough for the inner holes? Or did you have better luck with the punch bits?

Yes, though you need to trim the paper down slightly on the bottom to reach properly. No other method worked well besides cutting out each hole with a razor-knife for me, and that is just too tedious… This takes only a few minutes , biggest hassle (for me) is to get the cutter positioned properly, takes a little practice.
