Roger Dodger Aviation, LLC
Roger Dodger Aviation was envisioned as a way to bring aviation to
people in a way that is fun and invites active participation.
Roger Dodger produces videos and instruction manuals that help
people build inexpensive home flight simulators with materials from a
home improvement store and off-the-shelf flight sim components.
The videos are sold worldwide from the DIY Flight Sims website and
dozens are offered free on YouTube.
The company was founded in 2005 by Matt Thomas. Matt provided
scenic flights over Kansas City and experimented with a variety of
flight simulator services before settling on the DIY Flight Sim video
concept in 2007.
Many friends, family members and fans have assisted Roger Dodger
Aviation throughout the years. They helped sustain the company
through the Great Recession and made its present day growth
possible. You can help too!
The phrase "Roger Dodger" originated from a WWII-era folk tale
about a pilot playfully disregarding established conventions.
Matt Thomas, CFII
Matt is the owner and founder of Roger Dodger Aviation. He
believes that many people have an inherent interest in aviation
and flight simulators can help them in a unique way. He also has faith in
people's ability to build, invent and create things that improve their lives
with Do-It-Yourself projects.
Matt grew up with two major interests: building stuff from found materials
and flying airplanes. These two interests appeared to be incompatible
early in Matt's aviation career. Building stuff satisfied Matt's creative
disposition, but flying did not. Flying a plane is not usually a creative
effort because pilots follow specific regulations and checklists for safety
reasons.
Matt eventually found his calling by designing DIY projects for the home
flight simulator market. His teaching experience made him uniquely
qualified to create instructional videos and manuals that show people
how to build features that improve their flight simulators.
