Simbay KDI 573: Precision Replica Flight Simulator Panel for Home Cockpit Enthusiasts

Step into the world of authentic flight simulation with the Simbay KDI 573, a meticulously crafted replica of the classic Bendix KDI 573 panel designed specifically for home cockpit setups. Whether you’re a flight enthusiast perfecting your skills or a commercial flight school enhancing realistic training environments, this aviation control panel brings precision and immersive value right to your fingertips.

Why Choose the Simbay KDI 573 Replica Panel?

Imagine piloting with controls that feel and look like the real deal. The matte black finish not only reduces glare but also gives your cockpit that professional, sleek appearance. Its warm white backlighting bathes the panel and buttons in soothing light, eliminating eye strain during extended sessions and heightening visibility in low-light conditions. Plus, the red 7 segment display adds that authentic cockpit glow, delivering clear, easy-to-read information reminiscent of real flight instruments.

Integrating into your existing or custom setup is seamless thanks to the dedicated 12 volts connector for backlighting and the rear IDC connector on the PCB, which precisely maps each pin to panel functions. This attention to detail means effortless connection and compatibility with most flight simulator hardware.

Features Designed for Realism and Functionality

  • Replica Bendix KDI 573: Faithful recreation ensuring an immersive flight experience.
  • Matte Black Panel: Durable, glare-resistant finish perfect for authentic cockpit aesthetics.
  • Warm White Backlighting: Soft illumination for enhanced visibility and comfort during night flights.
  • 12 Volt Connector: Independent power line for backlighting, ensuring stable and consistent light.
  • Red 7 Segment Display: Clear, vibrant display to mimic real avionics.
  • Potentiometer without Off Click: Smooth adjustments without interrupting your simulation flow.
  • IDC Connector on PCB: Defined wiring scheme with accessible data sheet, simplifying setup and troubleshooting.
  • Compact Panel Size (89mm x 33.5mm): Perfect fit for virtually any flight simulator or cockpit layout.

Technical Insight and User-Focused Details

On the back, the printed circuit board (PCB) includes an IDC connector where each pin’s function is clearly labelled and supported by a detailed data sheet. You get not only a high-quality panel but also all the necessary documentation to ensure a smooth installation, whether you’re upgrading your home cockpit or outfitting a commercial flight school trainer.

The potentiometer design allows for fluid control adjustments, though it omits the ‘Off’ clicking feature to avoid accidental shutdowns during critical flight moments. Every element of the Simbay KDI 573 panel reflects careful craftsmanship and user-oriented engineering, creating an accessory that doesn’t just look authentic but functions seamlessly.

Addressing Your Flight Simulator Concerns

Worried about fitting this panel into your setup? The compact size and standardized connectors provide broad compatibility with most home cockpit and commercial flight simulation products. Concerned about lighting consistency? The warm white backlight powered by a dedicated 12 volts connector ensures stable illumination without flickering or dimming.

This panel also comes backed by the experience and trust of many satisfied flight enthusiasts and professionals who have integrated the Simbay KDI 573 panel into their simulators for that realistic edge and ease of operation. Combine that with clear wiring instructions in the data sheet, and installation becomes a hassle-free experience.

Panel Only

This set includes the front and back panels, all annunciators, knobs, and switch guards.
Note: No electronic components are included. You will need to purchase switches, toggle switches, rotary switches, encoders, or potentiometers separately.

Connect and Play

This is a fully functional unit that must be connected via the IDC connector pins on the back of the PCB to a controller board. Programming is required.
Pin layout information is either printed on the PCB or provided in a separate datasheet.

Plug and Play

This version comes pre-programmed and USB-ready for use with your preferred flight simulation software.
Simply plug it in, install the provided configuration files, and you’re ready to fly!

Power Supply Note:
Because the panels can be daisy-chained using their power connectors, single-panel products do not include a 12V power adapter. Only one adapter is required to power your entire custom cockpit setup. The power supply is used solely for the backlighting, not for the product’s core functions.

Knobs

All knobs are high-quality, resin 3D-printed components with realistic designs. They are supplied with a D-shaft fitting.
For modifications or custom requirements, please contact our support team.

Gauges

The gauges are powered by SG90 servo motors, compatible with most available controller boards. Each unit includes one or two pre-mounted servo motors.

Calibration must be done via your software or firmware.

Where specified, we use 28BY stepper motors with a ULN2003 driver board.

Tylko panel

Ten zestaw zawiera przedni i tylny panel, wszystkie wskaźniki, pokrętła i osłony przełączników.
Uwaga: Nie są dołączone żadne elementy elektroniczne. Będziesz musiał osobno zakupić przełączniki, przełączniki dźwigniowe, przełączniki obrotowe, enkodery lub potencjometry.

Podłącz i graj

To w pełni funkcjonalna jednostka, którą należy podłączyć za pośrednictwem pinów złącza IDC z tyłu płytki drukowanej do płyty kontrolera. Wymagane jest programowanie.
Informacje o układzie pinów są albo wydrukowane na płytce drukowanej, albo dostarczone w osobnej karcie katalogowej.

Plug and Play

Wystarczy podłączyć, zainstalować dołączone pliki konfiguracyjne i jesteś gotowy do lotu!

Uwaga dotycząca zasilania:
Ponieważ panele można łączyć w szereg za pomocą złączy zasilających, produkty jednotablicowe nie zawierają adaptera zasilania 12V. Tylko jeden adapter jest wymagany do zasilenia całego niestandardowego układu kokpitu. Zasilacz służy wyłącznie do podświetlenia, a nie do podstawowych funkcji produktu.

Pokrętła

Wszystkie pokrętła to wysokiej jakości, żywiczne komponenty drukowane w technologii 3D z realistycznymi wzorami. Dostarczane są z mocowaniem na wał D.
