Curriculum

The Builder Academy's curriculum includes extensive material to help make your flight simulator the best it can be. First of all, I cover recommended tools, building techniques for PVC pipe, and a discussion on self-drilling fasteners. Are you planning on using multiple displays or large displays? You probably are so the sections on mounting HDTVs and multi monitors will be helpful.

Do you like your Saitek flight controls, but wish you could love them? I understand, that is why I have extensive video tutorials on improving Saitek equipment. Furthermore, I also include DIY guides on hacking CH Products yoke and throttle quadrant.

The Builder Academy teaches techniques for working with Styrofoam body panels for the DIY Flight Sim Pod. These are not difficult skills if you simply follow the steps in the correct order. Furthermore, a few coats of paint will make your home project look like a professional product, so do not skip the section on painting.

You can get started today. After all, getting started is the hardest part...
