What’s Inside:

1. Ignition Panel

Take full command of your virtual cockpit with a spring-loaded ignition key switch and authentic 5-position magneto selector (Off, R, L, Both, Start), just like in real aircraft. Perfect for practicing engine start-up, magneto checks, and shutdown procedures.

The panel also features:

Dual rocker switches for master battery/alternator and avionics Bus 1 & 2

7 toggle switches for full system control: fuel pump, pitot heat, beacon, landing, taxi, nav, and strobe lights

Non-functional circuit breakers for realistic pre-flight routines

2. Slider-Style Throttle Box with Carb Heat 

Experience smooth, tactile throttle response with integrated throttle and mixture controls, allowing you to manage fuel levels and mixture for accurate airspeed control.

This version also includes a dedicated carb heat control, ideal for mastering carbureted engine procedures like preventing carburetor icing—an essential skill for student pilots and sim enthusiasts alike.

3. Flaps Panel

Fine-tune your approach and departure with a four-position flaps switch, modeled after those found in common general aviation aircraft. This switch allows you to put the aircraft’s flaps in four distinct positions: Up, 10°, 20°, and 30° (full flaps), allowing you to practice proper flap extension and retraction for takeoffs, landings, and short-field operations.

4. Fuel Tank Selector 

Master real-world fuel management with a rotary selector that allows you to switch between left, right, and both tanks. Also features a fuel cut-off switch—just like in single-engine trainers. Practice fuel balancing techniques, in-flight fuel planning, and learn how to respond to fuel emergencies with realistic cockpit procedures – an essential skill for long-haul or cross-country flying.

5. Trim Wheel

Dial in precise pitch control with a true-to-life easy-to-grip trim wheel, designed to replicate the tactile feedback of real aircraft. Use it to reduce pilot workload during climbs, descents, and cruise flight—just like you’d do in actual flight training scenarios.

6. Parking Brake 

Simulate accurate ramp operations and ground control with a dedicated parking brake lever. Perfect for engine run-ups, taxi procedures, and parking simulations, this control adds realism to every phase of your flight—before takeoff and after landing.

First few days using DesktopPilot controls - love it! I’m happy to provide my feedback and suggestions – for all to have clear picture on whats DeskTopPilot is about! First of all product as it is - takes very needed niche - best price/performance ratio, being affordable - that is very important! Very good promotion too – with many videos on using controls made by DeskTopPilot! Packaging - simply the best (with Tina Turner voice) - it’s absolutely incredible to touch those boxes when open big regular cardboard box - lovely pictures on boxes, flashy finish, high quality and magnets! It’s the boxes you want to receive your Christmas presents in! Same highest mark goes to inside the box packaging - second to none! High quality and that should be that way! Wonderful job on YouTube setup videos - best manual on how to assign controls - flawlessly and painless! 5 stars and one on top of that! Items overall - All items look very good, feels sturdy - 5 stars Ignition panel - all very good, all switches feel as they should, with distinctive click to each switch and button. Handbrake - all works very well, pull and turn to activate, push and turn – to release, great job. Throttle box – exactly what you need with pull/push to recreate realistic operation – helps with immersion and builds muscle memory for when you operate real cockpit controls! Flaps - all works great, I like resistance before each change and indications on face panel. Fuel selector – just as it supposed to be and straight forward recreation of what you’ll find in Cessna 172 and many others. TRIM WHEEL - very good and works as intended, much better action then Honeycomb Bravo, if needed – be sure to adjust sensitivity in control section, having trim wheel helps a lot with handflying! That’s my honest review, I can’t stress enough that having physical controls is a game changer (pun intended), and is a step towards best result in flying your sim.  And I want to emphasize - it’s absolutely amazing that Desktoppilot able to provide consumers with high quality, affordable equipment - I myself after all, very happy with my set.
