Volair Sim Cockpit and Avionics Panel – Customer Story

Volair Sim Cockpit and Avionics Panel – Customer Story
A cool story from Jonathan, one of our customers:
 
“My wife and I were staying at my parents during COVID, as we closed on our very first home and were waiting for everything to go through. When MFS came out in July 2020, I bought my dad the Logitech yoke/rudder as a thanks for letting us stay at their house. He was a Cessna 172 pilot back in the ’70s and we were both stoked about MFS 2020. Sim flying became a nightly tradition after dinner. What became the most addicting was the landing challenges. We’d compete in a best-of-7 landing challenge every time. Lukla, Paro, St Barth’s, Saba, you name it. Once I moved into my house, I missed flying the sim a ton. I did my research and knew VolairSim was the way to go. I went all-in. Couldn’t help it.  Once I got everything, I put in over 300 hours of flying time. At that point, the itch to fly for real was too powerful. My wife got me a one-hour entry level flight lesson as an anniversary gift. I got to fly over the Hudson River and all around the beautiful NYC skyline on a perfect sunny day. My instructor was blown away by how I was handling the aircraft. He couldn’t believe it was my first time.  It was all thanks to the sim. I loved my lesson but haven’t flown for real again since. I now have a beautiful newborn at home, and for now, the sim is all I need. Thanks to online courses, I’m still committed to furthering my education from the comfort of my home, so I can eventually participate in VATSIM.”

Volair Sim Cockpit and Avionics Panel – Customer Review

Volair Sim Cockpit and Avionics Panel – Customer Review
Review from Jeff K along with photos of his Volair Sim as completed:
 
“Bottom line up front: This is an amazing product, and if you are looking for a solid, very functional, inexpensive flight sim or racing chassis, you need look no further!
 
I had been researching flight sim chassis for over five years, and while there are some (much more expensive) options out there which offer motion and/or/enclosure, I kept coming back to Volair Sim. For the price, no other rig came close in terms of what it offered…It was almost too good to be true.
 
And you know the old saying, if it sounds too good to be true…
 
Regardless, about a year ago I took the plunge and purchased the chassis and the Avionics Panel. The products arrived in perfect order and I began assembling the rig. I was a little nervous about the assembly process as I am not mechanically inclined in any way, but the instructions provided were very clear and if I did run into an issue, there is a very helpful video on the company website which walks through the assembly process step by step. It took me about two hours to assemble the chassis. I then began installing my Logitech flight panels, radio panels, yoke, and rudder panels to the chassis. Again, installation was effortless and everything fit perfectly, with no adjustments necessary.
 
Now came the fun part…
 
I had purchased three 31″ monitors to use with the rig (the largest size the chassis will support). I was concerned about how well (or if) they would fit. I shouldn’t have worried as even these behemoths attached easily and with some minor adjustments, lined up with each other perfectly!
 
I have flown close to 1000 hours with my Volair Sim setup (Thanks, COVID-19), and I have to say that the chassis has performed beyond my expectations. It is very comfortable for long flights, very sturdy yet light weight, which makes moving it very easy. To top off this review, I also need to mention the outstanding customer support I have received from the folks at Volair Sim. Whenever I have had a question (invariably on a weekend), I have always received a reply email the same day, or at least within 12 hours. It is obvious to me that they are very proud of their products and want to ensure the best possible experience for their customers.
 
I cannot recommend this product enough. Volair Sim has a customer for life.”
