Yak Cockpit

I was going to redo the Yak-52 pilots manual as the one we work from is a third generation photo-copy of a document produced via a dot-matrix printer and I thought it would be a good idea to update it.

The cockpit layout diagrams in the old manual are just B&W line drawings, so I came up with the idea of using annotated photos instead. Unfortunately my camera doesn't really have much of a wide angle lens and I can't get it far enough back to capture all the necessary switches, levers and instruments in one image. Plus it has to be jammed into a tight space on the rear cockpit's instrument panel, which means you can't see what you are photographing on the "viewfinder" screen.

I'll probably have to do a composite of multiple images. Work in Progress
