Hardware and plans kits for the KwikPit flight simulator cockpit from The KwikPit Company

Series One Cockpit

The Series One DIY Cockpit

The Series One cockpit is designed by Gene Buckle and is the first cockpit in the DIY Cockpit Project series. The design is patterned after the Messerschmitt Me-109 single seat fighter used by Germany in WWII.

This design was chosen because its general layout is mostly angles with few if any difficult to make curves. This is very important, especially for the novice woodworker. The cockpit framework can be made as expensively or as inexpensively as you like. The choice of materials is entirely up to the builder. The drawings were made to allow you to chose any material that is 7/16" to 1/2" in thickness.

Photos Of The Plans Built Cockpit

The cockpit can be built in one of two configurations! The Open Cockpit has more of a civilian feel to it The plan set you get will have all the drawings needed to create either version

Once the main "tub" is constructed, you can change back and forth between the two styles! Great for those who fly different types of aircraft Designed to allow the builder to disassemble it into 5 or 7 separate sub-assemblies! This is especially nice for those with limited space - you can quickly break the cockpit down for storage "Say No More" Click Here to Order Now

What Do I Get?

You will get a CD with 5 PDF files that will allow you to print the plans out on any large format printer that can print them full size (36x84). The CD includes DXF files of the parts, images and PDF documentation.

Note:
To create the parts for your cockpit, you'll create hardboard or card-stock templates using the plans in order to create full size parts. It's important that you create the intermediate templates because there may not be the same number of drawings as there are parts needed, especially considering the rib parts. The plans have three copies of the two types, just in case.
