STEP 12: ATTACHING ACCESSORIES
You have several options when attaching accessories to the Volair Sim chassis. You can opt for a permanent installation
using the pre-drilled locations or a semi-permanent installation using the clamps provided with the yoke, steering wheel,
and associated accessories.
1. Yoke | Steering Wheel Installation
The Volair Sim cockpit chassis is pre-drilled to accept the Logitech (Saitek) Pro Flight Yoke, Logitech G27|G29, and
Thrustmaster T500RS steering wheels. Use the fasteners provided with your accessories to attach the steering wheel
and yoke to the table. Note that in order to mount the Logitech steering wheel, shifter, and pedals using the pre-drilled
locations, you will need eight (8) M6*10mm machine screws (2 for the wheel, 2 for the shifter, and 4 for the pedals). You
can purchase these at any hardware store. Note: The Honeycomb Alpha yoke can be attached with the micro-suction
pad mount (included with the yoke) or the clamping system. The Honeycomb yoke does not have any provision for
installation with screws.
2. Throttle Quadrant | Trim Wheel | Gear Shifters | HOTAS systems
Volair Sim features pre-drilled locations for the Saitek Throttle Quadrant(s), Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, Logitech
(Saitek) X-52|X-55|X-56, Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ. You can also combine several Logitech quadrants for a twin or
multi-engine set-up, set-up HOTAS systems, or gear shifters for either left or right-hand drive. The Honeycomb Bravo can
be installed with either the micro-suction pad mount (included with the throttle quadrant) or dual-sided 3M tape (sold
separately). The Bravo throttle does not have provisions for installation with screws.
NOTE: for the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog installation, the throttle plate will overlap the mounting plate on top and
bottom. You should use the bottom two holes pre-drilled in the side mount plate for attachment. Also, in order to use
the center mount for Thrustmaster HOTAS installation, you will have to remove the Thrustmaster joystick from the large
support plate included with the HOTAS system and mount it directly on Volair Sim center support plate using pre-drilled
holes.
3. Rudder Pedals | Racing Pedals
The pedal base accepts a wide variety of rudder pedals such as: CH Products Pro Pedals, Thrustmaster, and Logitech,
Yoko, and others. The pedal base has pre-drilled holes for the Logitech G27|G29, Fanatec Clubsport, and Thrustmaster
T500RS pedals, but you can mount nearly any rudder and racing pedals with the provided Velcro strips. Just attach one
strip to the bottom of the pedal base and the second strip to the pedals or rudder set and you will have a very secure
installation.
4. Flight Simulation Accessories
For flight simulation, Volair Sim has pre-drilled mounting locations for all Logitech Pro Flight accessories including the
Radio Panel, the Multi Panel, Switch Panel, and the Flight Instrument Panel(s). Just use the machine screws provided
with the Logitech accessories and attach the accessories on either left or right side of the yoke as desired. Note that you
will be able to mount the Volair Sim Avionics Panel (sold separately) for even greater realism. Honeycomb products, due
to the fact that they do not have provisions for screw-down installation, are best installed using either the micro-suction
system included with the Honeycomb yoke and throttle quadrant or couple of strips of dual-sided 3M tape.
