Over the past month, I rebuilt 525Charlie from the ground up.

Originally, it was simply a place to document my Citation CJ4 home cockpit build.

As I worked on the project over the past year, I realized something.

There was no point in spending hundreds of hours designing panels, developing PCBs, creating CAD models, writing firmware, and solving engineering problems just to let all of those files collect digital dust on my hard drive.

So I changed directions.

The new 525Charlie is built around openly sharing the journey.

As projects mature, I'll be publishing CAD files, PCB designs, firmware, MobiFlight profiles, wiring guides, reference material, engineering notes, and the lessons learned throughout the process.

I also replaced Discord with a **true community forum** where build logs, discussions, and technical resources can be organized and searched instead of disappearing in a chat feed.

While my current project is a full-scale Citation CJ4 cockpit, the techniques, workflows, and engineering behind it apply to just about anyone interested in home cockpit building, CAD, 3D printing, electronics, or manufacturing.

If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd love for you to create a free account, explore the Tech Library, and help shape the community as it grows.

This isn't just a relaunch of the website.

It's a new direction for the entire project.

After accidentally nuking my website, I decided to rebuild it with a completely different vision.
