About us
A few years ago we decided to turn our love for DIY cockpit controls into a business. At first we concentrated on basic items to help other DIYers add control elements to their cockpits, like joystick controllers, levers, switches, etc., but we soon found that most people are not into DIY, and so we decided to add a few fully-built cockpit items. The response was overwhelming, so we have steadily increased our offerings over time.
We continue to add items, as well as to refine our existing products, to make them better, easier to build, and most of all, as inexpensive as we can afford to do. Many flight sim accessories are out of reach for many casual simmers, so we try to make our products as functional and inexpensive as possible. For instance, our FCP and GA controls, while slightly more expensive than the cheaper offering out there, have the functionality of items several times more expensive. The nearest similar control to our FCP172/182, with the same functionality is more than double the price, and some are 7-8 times the cost for the same controls. Other controls that appear similar, but are cheaper, do not have the friction throttle, or functioning vernier pitch or mixture.
All our plastic products are 3D printed, and the quality continues to increase as we get better printers. Originally we printed almost everything from PLA plastic, but we recently began converting all our products to ABS, which is stronger and more heat-resistant.
All our electronics are designed and built in-house. No Arduinos or other devices are used, so there is no programming on your part... it is all just plug and play.
Give our products a try, and if you are not happy with them you can return them for a refund.

Rob
