Authentikit Spit flight controls

[Komet_82]

Hi there

Is anyone using the Spitfire Authentikit controlls these days?

https://authentikit.org/spitfire-mkix/

I will get into flying the Spit soon and consider building the flight controls.

Just wondering how the handling and operating quality of these controlls is?

Many thanks

Cheers

Markus

I have printed and built the Spade Grip for the MkIX. It's perfect - absolutely amazing. You need to be careful when doing the printing to make sure everything fits but there's plenty of help and advice available on the discord.

BTW, I'm told the Mosquito Throttle is very close to release

I've now built the Spitfire throttle and trim wheels, and I'm chasing some self-inflicted wiring issues on the trim wheels but the throttle quadrant is in use. This kit is also very high quality. The throttle quadrant will need some wearing in but it feels great under the hand.

 

Is it OK to publish discord links here? I guess I'll find out..

I have the spade grip, throttle and trim wheels they are very nice.

I have the printed parts for flap lever, gear lever and gunsight. But not bought the internals for them yet.

I'm printing the Mosquito Throttle right now

This cockpit was made using Authentik controls. The screen is just for getting started on the PC. All flown in VR.

Looks awesome Gazzer, just right for battling some 190s.

Gazzer what’s the story with your rudder pedals? Apart from having Supermarine written on em they’re bang on by the look. Are they authentikit too?

P.S. Can I have all that and the room to put it in by Christmas please?

So you've built that brilliant cockpit and panel setup ... but then you put on a VR headset so you can't see any of it?

No but if it matches the virtual cockpit it feels fanatic.

I haven't nearly as complete as him. But just having stick, throttle and trim wheels match perfectly with the virtual cockpit is super immersive.

Same goes for F16. I have the winwing F16 HOTAS and it matches so well with the cockpit you trick your brain. 

I have some MFDs but I haven't set them up properly so u haven't used them. But I plan on getting the ICP and make a setup so the ICP and MFDs match the virtual cockpit and it will be awsome. I just suck at DIY so I'm not sure how to do it.

I made this entire set.

A fantastic addition to any WWII pit!

Also made the P-40 trims.

Highly recommended!

One point,

I did not like the cat 5 connectors.

I used automotive style with good locks.

Bad things happen to the BB-32 if a connector becomes disconnected.

DO NOT ask how I know!
