Welcome to my website. through this website I will explain how I am building my Cessna C172 fixed based Flight simulator. This page will always show a recent image reflecting the current status of the simulator. At the moment the Sim looks like this:
The yoke mechanism has been revised and the yokes are moving smoothly. the base will be redesigned as I have made cut outs in this MDF floor which are in the places that the pedals will need to be mounted. I have also adjusted the pedestal by cutting some bits of the back, this was done to ensure that the yoke (roll) cables would not chaff along the side of the plywood structure.
In this image the Pedals are just placed loosely onto the base. work will continue weekly albeit at a slower pace as we (Netherlands) have gone back to work this week after the Summer holidays, that means less sim time for me, but I will squeeze in some time whenever I can.
I will continue to update the site and add new sections as the build progresses.
How you can help!
I hope that everyone enjoys this website and finds the information useful. the information on this website is free and I really hope that this website may be instrumental in somebody else’s Cessna 172/182/185/150 build. If you have found this website useful and you would like tp help out, here are a few ways in which you can help me:
You can help me with this fun project by spreading the word! Tell people about this website and post the link on any forums that you visit who might find this project to be interesting.
You can help by donating (or selling) parts that you might have lying around in your hanger, garage or scrapyard. I am always on the lookout for genuine Cessna parts that don’t cost an arm and a leg. You can find the parts list here: Parts List
You can help out buy buying me a coffee 🙂 If you have enjoyed this website or found the information provided in any way useful, please consider buying me a coffee 🙂 I am a coffee junkie and your cup of coffee will buy me a coffee, or coffee capsules or even go into my PPL piggy bank as I really do hope to get my PPL one day.

You can also help me out by purchasing my 3D designs or STL’s in my webshop (link coming soon)
