DIY Deluxe Desktop Flight Sim

This online training course teaches you how to build the most versatile home flight simulator available. The DIY Deluxe Desktop Flight Sim is a multi-screen flight simulator frame that you can build at home with common hand tools, HDTV's, and materials from your local home improvement store.

• Your choice: build with a yoke and throttle quadrant or HOTAS controls
• Use three 32" HDTVs for the main displays (fourth display is optional)
• Room for a variety of controls and switch panels
• Use retail flight controls, a standard 6' folding table and materials from a hardware store
• Build this multi-screen flight sim for your home, school, EAA chapter, CAP squadron, etc.

This DIY Flight Sim is fairly large, but it fits on a standard 6 foot folding table. These tables are inexpensive and widely available for only $50 or $60.

Use three 32" HDTVs as the main displays. HDTVs are becoming inexpensive and I bought the TVs you see in the pictures for only $200 each.
