The only cockpit plans I've seen mentioned weren't well recieved.

Sparky did a DIY cockpit though, for inspiration you can check it out at:http://www.spidertrace.com/arcade2.htm

Consider going with a turbo design.

I just got one and it would be great for Starwars or any other.

two things I like about it.

1) flat sides.. you get into it.  

2) It splits in two... Its lighter then my gauntlet cab..

but I would probably redesign the insides from scratch.  

Also, I would do a flat seat so you can have two sitting inside when you want...

If you want any dimensions let me know.
