Spit40

If you're interested in these bits... New assembly video now out

Good progress on the throttle quadrant over the last few days. I'll try to get a proper progress update on my YouTube channel over the next few days. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/AuthentiKit When ready CAD available for free download from: https://authentikit.org Parts to assemble your own kit will be available from: https://www.simkitsupplies.com Join 200 other people building these Spitfire flight controls on Discord: https://discord.gg/pZp7gaqW

Nice review by Skil of Grim Reapers here

.... and if my version is a little to neat and clean for you, it comes in authentic distressed livery too.

Version 2 now available with fully functional dual action fire button

Nice DCS focussed video

Final video in the Fighter stick series is now out.

This project is now live. Here's an unboxing and a quick flight in a dev version of an MSFS IX

Thanks. I was talking about that only yesterday with a pal. Which one would I start with? The most iconic? BF 109 or FW 190?

Hi. Many thanks for the advice. Yes if you'd repost for me that would be awesome. The spade/top angle bracket is to scale. The main body is 20cm or so, but that doesn't matter so much - see this video I uploaded for how it mounts. The video is over a year old and things have evolved a bit but it shows the rig system pretty well.

Anyone interested in some authentic flight controls for a Spit MkIX and, in time, other aircraft? I've started this project which will hopefully build into a community over time. Its primarily a VR thing and I'm focussing on the main tactile flight controls like spade/stick, throttle quadrant, elevator trim. Also flaps and landing gear - I love the action on that simple control. PointCtrl can handle the rest. I've developed a range of modular components that make it easy to build compatible products that go into a universal control hub. Self-Build Kit for Non-Engineers This is a self-build kit and you need to 3d print the plastic. All the rest is cheap commodity stuff like bearing, magnets & hall sensors you buy off ebay and Amazon. It's not really a project for engineers - i'm building it for people who are game to assemble an Ikea wardrobe. Beta Testing soon Before I upload everything to Thingiverse I'll be looking to beta test with some people who know what they want. There is no reason this stuff should not feel as good as proper commercial gear and that's my aim. Let me know if you're interested. Flight Stick first Here's a render of the flight stick at the current stage of development as well as an early version I took down to Goodwood to compare against their MkIX simulator. Also how it looks with a dev. version of the throttle quadrant (landing gear lying on the floor) More info here: AuthentiKit.Org ​

I know there's a problem that JPGs can be distorted when loaded but I thought PDFs were fine. I've hit a problem with this one though. Originally it was downloaded rotated so because I couldn't see a way in VRK to rotate the view (would be nice) I rotated it in an external app. When I load it into VRK it distorts, https://www.dropbox.com/s/xf6f48pwbraiw8l/148115-rotated.pdf?dl=0 2 other feature requests please 1) Option to step through pages at the top. I have to really strain my neck to see the arrows at the bottom - i don't have a tablet with buttons yet 2) Option that when the tablet is zoom/focussed it can move a bit. Again the bottom of the page is a real neck crick for me. Thanks. Come up with a great app and people just want more !
