Do you have printed catalogues for the Viper I kit?
No, all information is on this site. If you don't see the answers
to your all questions here, you can send e-mail to: sukit@aimsworth.com>.
How do you ship the Viper I or the parts?
We ship larger parcels as the Viper I kit or the ACES II seat via
sea or airfreight. Sea freight is fairly inexpensive, but requires
you or an authorized shipper to handle the final transport from
the port to your home. Smaller products are shipped generally via
FedEx, DHL or EMS parcel services. For more information, be sure
to check our shipping FAQ.
The original Aimsworth cockpit was huge and expensive to ship.
Does Viper I have the same problem?
No, we have taken care of this completely. The cockpit now ships
in one box due to a complete re-design, and shipping prices have
gone down, compared with to previous years.
Can I buy only the body?
Yes, we expect make the body available separately sometime later
this year.
Can I buy the ACES II seat seperatly?
Sure. Look for the ACES II seat kit in our product listings.
Are the dimensions/angles of the interior accurate to the real
F-16?
Yes they are. Only some minor exterior details are not.
Can I fit other panels such as the one's from Flightdeck solutions
in your pit?
You should be able to, but there may be small differences, for
example with our pre-drilled Block 50/52 center panel. There are
no guarantees of fit, however, with other manufacturer's products.
It is up to the owner to make whatever adjustments are required.
We have done a huge amount of research and are sure that our dimensions
are very accurate. Your success at integrating other manufacturer's
products will be directly related to their efforts at accuracy.
This risk is borne by the owner. We recommend using Aimsworth parts
exclusively in bringing your cockpit to the peak of accuracy.
What Joystick/throttle combination do you suggest?
We highly recommend the Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar (hands on throttle
and stick) combination. If one of these beauties isn't within your
budget, you may want to try the Saitek X45. The X45 set does a good
job at much lower cost, although it looks less realistic.
When will you have your rudder pedal ready? What others do you
recommend?
The Thrustmaster Elite is still available in some places and the
CH range of pedals does a good job too. Our realistic F-16 pedals
will be ready 3rd quarter this year.
Do you have the canopy for the Viper I ready?
Boy, you are devoted, aren't you? Unfortunately we feel that a
realistic canopy is still economically unfeasible for the average
simmer, given our current research into production of this element
of the cockpit. We hope to solve this problem within the next 10
months.
Can I order the pit in other colors?
No, but fiberglass is easily spray painted. Any good acrylic lacquer
will do.
I am a big guy over 6 feet. Can the seat be repositioned?
Yes, the seat now has 4 fore-aft seating positions that should
fit almost everybody, with 10" of movement. This is not 100%
realistic, but it is the most effective and comfortable solution
within the constraints of a home cockpit.
