Spitfire Sim Pit Parts

The Spitfire Histories replica Spitfire Chassis Control Unit reproduces the lever movement of the original unit with its top and bottom gates. The status window shows « UP » temporarily to show that the mechanism is in operation when moving the lever upwards and temporarily « DOWN » when it is moving downwards. At all other times is shows "IDLE", as in the real aircraft.

Please note that this unit is only sold as an option with the control column set, because it is normally connected to the USB controller that is housed in its base. It can of course be connected to any proprietary game controller.

Please also note that the customer needs to provide a suitable support panel for this unit on the right hand

side of the seat. In time when we have developed other controls for the right hand side of the cockpit we will offer a curved panel as a support.

In later versions of the Spitfire two step rudder pedals were introduced to raise pilots feet and thus help delay the onset of blacking out due to pulling "g's" in tight turns.

The SH model faithfully replicates the original but they are more designed for show, as when sitting in a simulator at home virtual pilots never pull more than 1 g.! So we don't recommend that you use the upper rungs.

The base can be adapted to fit most commercially available rudder pedal sets, by either replacing the pedals supplied or by fixing the SH units to existing foot rests. These items are made according to measurements supplied by the customer.

It is worth noting that these pedals are not recommended for pedal sets that use toe brakes, unless this function can be inhibited in the rudder pedal set.

The SH auxilliary fuel tank cock and jettison handle works just like in the real aircraft. When the fuel cock lever is pulled aft towards the ON position a mechanical lock inhibits operation of the jettison handle. This handle is only freed when the fuel cock lever is in its fully forward OFF position. The SH unit hides two micro pushbuttons operated by cams that should be assigned to the toggle function in flight simulator control panels. The unit should be mounted on the bottom traverse of frame 9 just to the right of the pilot seat

The unit is currently being tested and will be offered for purchase towards the end of 2020.

The RAF type 5C/543 switch is a standard ON/OFF switch. The SH version hides a micro pushbutton which is operated by a cam when the switch lever is operated and should be assigned to the toggle function in fligh simulator set up panels.

These switches are typically used in the Spitfire cockpit for the Electric Fuel Pump, Pitot Heat, Auto or Manual Radiator operation, Reflector Gunsight illumination, etc .....

No price is shown for this item yet as it is still being tested.

RAF type 5C/898 push buttons are typically used in the Spitfire MkIX for Starter and Booster Coil buttons. The SH version is stiffly sprung loaded like the original and hides a micro pushbutton deep inside. These should be assigned to the toggle function in flight simulatore control panels. This unit can be wired up to any proprietary game controller.

These will be sold as a pair, however prices have not yet been set as the SH prototypes are still undergoing testing

The SH replica of the Spitfire main fuel tank cock is designed so that it can be fitted to frame 8 just under the instrument board. It is discretely fitted with a micro pushbutton which is operated by a cam on the lever. It should be assigned to a toggle function in the flight simulator control panel. It can be connected to any proprietary game controller.

The price of this unit is not yet published as it is still undergoing testing.

The Spitfire Histories replica Spitfire flaps operating lever actives a micro push button hidden inside the unit. The unit is supplied with it's notice plate for front mounting on an instrument panel and for simplicity does not include the rear part of the unit that exists on the real aircraft.

The SH unit should be assigned to the toggle function in flight simulator control panels and can be connected to any proprietary game controller.

The unit is curretly being beta tested by some users and will be made available for sale in the latter part of 2020.

The SH wobble pump is strill in it's prototype stage and it's design still requires some modifications.

Like other SH accessories it operates a micro pushbutton which should be assigned to the toggle function in flight simulators and it can be wired up to any proprietary game controller.

This part will be supplied with a cockpit wall mounting bracket for mounting in a Spitfire cockpit simulator.

Availability will be spring 2021

SH instrument facings are static representations of the original gauges, designed to contribute to the static look & feel of a Spitfire cockpit. They are designed to be inserted in the cut outs of standard Spitfire instrument panels. They include a cup base in which rests a paper printed static facsimile of the instrument gauge, a spacer, clear plastic sheet window and an outer ring.

These gauges come in various sizes representative of the different gauges used. Currently only part of the gauges have been designed - the full set will be available summer 2021.
