Assembly
Assembly requires two healthy and capable persons to complete successfully. Place all parts of the
flight motion simulator in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. All tools for assembly
are included within the packaging.
Before proceeding, read through all the assembly steps and identify the fasteners that will be used
at each step. It may help to lay these out in groups in the order of the assembly steps to ensure you
have correctly identified the fasteners before you begin assembly.
Not all fasteners and tools shown here.

6
1) Assemble both Frame End Supports as shown below. Adjust Screw Feet to middle of their
adjustment. Slide both Frame End Supports onto Main Frame. Slide Frame End Supports to the
ground ensuring to be careful so as not to scratch the finish on the Main Frame. Align both Frame
End Supports perpendicular to Main Frame and tighten two clamp screws on each end securely.
Adjust feet to ensure frame does not rock on ground.

7
2) Attach Joystick Mounting Plate and Joystick Controller to Main Frame as shown below.
Ensure arrow on Joystick Mounting Plate is pointing forward as shown below.

8
3) Attach Joystick Assembly to Main Frame as shown below.

9
Main Frame Assembly should look like picture below when completed.

10
4) Next we will assemble the Roll Frame. See below for an image of the completed assembly.

11
5) Install clamp bolts and nuts at all four clamp locations on assembly. Do not tighten at this
point. See below.

12
6) Insert the two Mid Roll Tubes into Front Roll Tube Assembly first. Leave screws loose.
Next slide Rear Roll Tube Assembly onto exposed ends of the two Mid Roll Tubes.
Ensure Mid Roll Tubes are completely inserted into clamp sections of mating tubes, both
front and rear tubes, before securely fastening the clamp screws.
Top of Mid Roll Tube should
be visible beyond second clamp
through clamp slot as indicated
below by arrow at all four
clamp locations.

13
7) Roll Frame Pivot Bearings will be installed next. The procedure is the same for both the
front and rear Pivot Bearings. Use the large bolts and the brass bushings. Ensure notch
end of black Pivot Bearing is against the hole in the tube as shown below in second
picture. Tighten these bolts until they no longer turn. Ensure Bearing Pivot spins freely
around the installed bushing and bolt. If Pivot Bearing does not move freely, un-screw
the bolt and ensure that there is no foreign matter in any of the holes. Re-assemble and
check again.

14
8) Now we will hang the completed Roll Frame within the Main Frame Assembly. This step
requires two people as both Pivot Bearings must be inserted at the same time. Ensure
Pivot bearings are fully inserted into the Main Frame tubes.

15
9) Next we will assemble the Pitch Frame Assembly like shown below.

16
10) Assemble the right half of the assembly as shown below. The left half is assembled in the
same manner. Leave fasteners loose so as slight adjustments can be made while installing
the seat and the assembly into the Roll Frame.

17
11) Once the left and right assemblies are together they can be joined together by the Hanger
Brace. See below. Once again leave the fasteners loose so that the holes on the seat can be
aligned with the holes on the mating assembly. Thread four nuts onto the four eyehooks
and screw into the assembly as shown. Tighten the four nuts against the assembly to lock
the eyehooks in position.

18
12) Now the seat can be attached to the assembly. See below.

19
13) Now we can hang this assembly within the Roll Frame. See below. Use the same brass
bushing and large bolt that were used on the Pivot Bearings. Ensure the brass washer is
placed between seat hanger bushing and Roll Frame bushing. This washer is nesecary to
prevent wear and to ensure smooth fluid motion. One washer is required for each side.
Once the seat assembly is hung within the roll frame the large bolts can be tightened until
they stop turning. Ensure the same free motion is felt at these two pivots like was felt on
the Pivot Bearings earlier. If there is any friction disassemble and clean and re-assemble.
