Jerry
Connecticut, USA
Just wanted to let you know how glad I am that I purchased the
Desktop Airliner Cockpit instructions. This is an excellent
product, and I highly recommend it to anyone. The cost is right as
well. I figure it will cost me well less than $100.00 for the whole
project. I've never been much of a builder, but this looks easy
enough even for me. I'm a 60 year old retired pastor, and this is
my hobby to relax.
I'm using the Saitek yoke and throttles. Anyway, the whole project
(including tools that I had to buy) was less than $100 dollars.
What a bargain. Thanks again for an excellent product.

Hanno, Germany
First I have to say thank you very much for your great product.
My name is Hanno and I'm from Wernau, it's a small town near
Stuttgart in the south of Germany. I studied Aviation Systems. The study
includes an ATPL (JAR-FCL) license. This year I was in Vero Beach,
Florida at Flight Safety International from January till April and did my
CPL-IFR. In August 13th I have a Screening on the CRJ 900. So, your
videos and plans help me a lot to fly the CRJ 700 very comfortable. It's
very important for me to handle the instruments very fast and without
any problems. I'm very sold on your plans. Great job!!!
My SIM is not exactly like your SIM in the videos, because I have to use
my Computer sometimes like a home office and then it's not very
helpful to have a yoke in front of you ;) So I need a degradable SIM. The
pictures I send you, shows my solution of a SIM. Somewhere down the
road, I will build a 'full flight' SIM and then your videos will be very useful.
So I say thank you very much again, and I will visit your webpage
continuously.

Joe
Virginia, USA
I had rather good success with the
project. This iteration of your original
plan is a modified B-17 simpit. We built
the sim to take to a reunion of the 401st
Bomb Group. These are vets that were
stationed at a B-17 base in Deenethrope
, England during WWII. There were
about 40 vets there and they couldn’t get
enough of the simulator.
This simulator now resides at the Mighty
Eighth Air Force Museum in Savannah,
GA and is available for visitors to fly.

Manuel
Puerto Rico
Hi, my name is Manuel. Im from Puerto Rico. I'm sending you photos of the cockpit i made from
your site. It may not look as pretty as yours, but I love it!! Well, I could not find polystyrine so I
used carboard. I also added a digital clock-alarm on the right side. Also, I only have one monitor
so I had to put it the way you see it on the pictures. Never the less, I love it! also put a
microphone on the left. I will add some more things later on. Believe it or not, it gave me the
sensation that I was really moving. Ja ja. Bye for now. and thanks!

I am almost done with mine with a
few modifications. Waterproof

attached with little screws, and a
center mounted joystick platform.
Also changed the throttle position
to horizontal.

Duncan
Geldrop, the Netherlands
I like to let you know how happy I am with
the Desktop Airliner Cockpit
instructions. I did put it together with very
low costs indeed.
I build it around the two widescreen
monitors. I have 3 PC’s connected:
1 (XP) for the flightsimulator with 2
widescreenmonitors on 1 videocard.
The monitor on the right is used for
FlightsimCommander and for
remotedesktop to the 3rd pc with FMC
etc, for later when I fly bigger planes.

Jim, USA
I built the airliner cockpit, and was very pleased with it. But, due to
circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to use it. So, I
disassembled it (the glue hadn't dried) and re-constructed a "stand"
to hold the keyboards. This way, I could use it in the space allotted.
Hopefully in the future I will be able to build the complete unit, but
until then this will have to do...check out the pix.
I am also mentioning your site to the pilots at North Eastern Virtual
airlines

Kevin is using our DIY keyboard
modification, but he made it from
ALUMINUM !
He has access to a professional CNC
machine and is making the other parts
of his flight simulator from aluminum
too. You can follow his progress at his

Rick,
New York, USA
While researching on the internet I found
your site and I like the idea of working
with PVC but because my project was
built around my seat I had to design my
own frame.
I purchased your keyboard mod video &
templates. The keyboard you see on my
sim is my experimental one....
I have bought a few more keyboards and
I am going to make one for each sim
and simply swap them out depending
on the game I play
