XS-1 PURCHASE OPTIONS
As
of July 1st 2018 SimSamurai migrated to a full digital sales platform
for our DIY Cockpit Plan Sets with added options for printing/shipping. We
also continue to offer our normal in house fabrication services for
BareBones and RTA kit cockpit enclosures and instrument panels.
In
addition to this we now offer digital design cut files for our
instrument panels so that you can attempt to cut them yourself, or can
take the file to a local fabricator of your choice (laser or waterjet).
This allows customers to save even more money over our in house costs of
fabrication, labor, and
shipping. Included with each panel cut file is PDF instructions for
mounting
hardware and final finishing options for both the panel and
glare-shield. For a small added fee we can also custom modify the panel
to better suit the needs of your current equipment and flight controls.
Please see the updated Instrument Panel page for more details.
Lastly,
with each digital product purchase you hereby agree to our
Non-Commercial Single Use User Licensing Agreement (NCSUULA) which is
detailed on the SHOP page.
Please see the product pricing on this page and or the Pricing Legends on the Purchase Details or SHOP page.

PRO PILOT KIT PURCHASING
OPTIONS
Effective September 1st 2015, the XS-1 is no longer offered as a BareBones or RTA kit due to lack of consistent demand of this model. We have moved on to new things, new ideas, new designs. You can still purchase a DIY plan set if desired.
You can learn more by visiting the Sim Flight Systems page.
XS-1 Bare Bones Kit
$ 1,890.00 USD
The
XS-1 Bare Bones kit includes all wood, screws, bolts, brackets, and templates
necessary for full project assembly and will include assembly tutorial videos
that accompany the builder manual so as to help you assemble the flight
simulator cockpit. The Bare Bones kit comes with all plywood, stick lumber, and skin parts pre-drilled, but all parts are un-sanded and un-painted. The exterior skin is a choice of either white or black ABS plastic or for an upgrade fee of $650 all skin can be made in .032 aircraft quality aluminum.
All parts of the XS-1 RTA bare bones kit are pre-cut on a
precision C-N-C computerized router machine using high grade cabinet quality
hardwood laminate and hardwood composite material (Not cheap MDF or particle
board!) The XS-1 RTA package is made of professional “cabinet
quality” materials and is made to high grade furniture quality
specifications.
Lastly
as with all kit cockpit purchases, we offer free building and assembly advice
(during 8am-6pm USA Pacific time). Please know we are always here to help if you
need any added assistance!

XS-1 Completed RTA Kit
$ 2,970.00 USD
The
Ready to Assemble (RTA) package of the SimSamurai XS-1 flight deck takes all of
your cutting, drilling, and painting out of the equation as it will come to you
ready to assemble which will take 1 or 2 hours. The
RTA kit comes complete with all materials and hardware necessary for full
assembly and will only require that you have tools available such as a drill,
some screwdrivers, and a small socket set.
All parts of the XS-1 RTA kit are
pre-cut on a precision C-N-C computerized router machine using high grade
cabinet quality hardwood laminate and hardwood composite material (Not cheap
MDF or particle board!) The XS-1 RTA package is made of professional
“cabinet quality” materials and is made to high grade furniture
quality specifications.
The
XS-1 Complete RTA kit includes all screws, bolts, brackets, and templates
necessary for full project assembly and will include a detailed assembly manual so that you can assemble the flight
simulator cockpit in a professional manner all within an afternoon. As with all our products, we design
with future upgradeability and expandability in mind. You will be able to set up the XS-1 exactly
as we have or you can instead install a pre-made instrument panel from any other
“pro sim” retailers.
The
XS-1 frame work is painted in “Charcoal Metallic” which is a black satin
with aluminum metallic accents. The
exterior skin is a choice of either white or black ABS plastic or for
an upgrade fee of $650 all skin can be made in .032 aircraft quality
aluminum.

ACCESSORY OPTIONS
Aluminum Instrument Panel Option ($ 320 or $ 540)**
In addition to the cockpit you can also purchase a fully customized aluminum
instrument panel overlay. You can choose to use the 3 LCDs approach like we do (with center monitor in portrait mode) or we can custom
design the panel specifically to fit your personal needs. The
instrument panel is 5mm (.125″) aircraft grade aluminum and is precision
cut on a CNC water jet system. For a total of $545 the top of the panel will come complete with a rubberized dash/glare-shield. The aluminum panel and glare shield is a great way to finish out your cockpit and make
it look very professional.
**For both BareBones and RTA kit customers the panel and glareshield option is reduced 10% if ordered along with cockpit.Interior Window Frames with Aluminum Cap Trim Option
($ 125 per frame and up to four available)
The
upper window frames are made to provide a “window-like” appearance
when seated in the cockpit. Each frame
is constructed of 3/4″ Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) and are cut via
C-n-C router machine. Again, much like
with the aluminum overlay panel, the upper window frame cutout sizes must be
first determined by the actual monitors used by the customer. The central window frame cutouts are
determined by the exact perimeter size of the monitor (without stand) and is
determined by both the exterior bezel width and height as well the exact screen
width and height of just the LCD screen itself.
Once cut, the frame receives a final sanding and is then painted with a
single coat of grey primer and then 2 textured topcoats in choice of medium
grey or sand tan. Also included with
each window frame is the 2.5 inch front frame support and 400 grit polished
1.5″ L-channel aluminum cap for the interior face.
Real Aluminum Exterior Skin Panels Option
($ 400 for side exterior panels, $ 250 for overhead canopy)
By
default, all cockpit exterior panels are made with white or black ABS plastic.
For complete RTA kit purchases the exterior is painted silver while the
interior is primed white then painted in a choice of medium grey or sand
tan. You can option to have these panels
made in real 20 gauge 6061 aluminum skin if desired and all holes will come
pre-drilled for immediate installation.
Rolling Castor Wheels Option
($ 150 – for 14 wheels and 56 screws)
By
default, both the Bare Bones and RTA kits come without wheels but include
3.5″ x 3.5″ wood standoff blocks where the wheels would typically be
located. This added height is a necessity of the design for proper yoke height
in relation to the pilots. Installation of 360 degree rotational castor wheels
allows the entire cockpit to be more mobile if it is ever required that the
cockpit be moved around or relocated.
The wheels used are high quality 3″ polyurethane wheels with
lubricated ball bearings for life longevity.
BAREBONES and RTA KIT SHIPPING COSTS
Average
shipping cost in USA for the base model is $350 to
$400 depending on your location. Average ship weight for the XS-1 is 300 lbs. The XS-1 will come in
two large boxes regardless of purchase of the Bare Bones kit or Completed RTA
kit. Once in hand you will need a small socket set and screw driver to complete
the final assembly which will typically take one or two hours.
Whether you order a set of the DIY plans, or a Bare Bones kit,
or even a fully completed RTA kit, we always offer free builder advice for all
flight simulator cockpit customers via email or phone (during 8am-6pm
USA Pacific time). Please
know that we are here to help if you need further advice or added assistance!
