Step into the world of realistic flight with the Simbay KX165A VHF NAV replica, designed especially for passionate flight enthusiasts and commercial flight schools aiming to enhance their home cockpits and training environments. This Bendix inspired instrument brings authentic avionics functionality and an immersive experience to your flight simulation setup.
The panel’s matte black finish perfectly replicates the original instrument’s sleek look, while the warm white backlighting softly illuminates the panel and buttons for a professional appearance during all lighting conditions. The 7-segment display uses vivid red digits that are easy to read and add to the realistic effect of the instrument.
The replica offers more than just looks. Featuring a responsive potentiometer without the ‘click-off’ function, this panel accurately mimics the feel of the real Bendix unit, providing intuitive control during your simulation sessions. The backside of the PCB boasts an IDC connector where each pin is mapped to a specific function, making installation and integration straightforward for any flight simulator hardware setup.
Whether you are a hobbyist creating an immersive home cockpit or a commercial flight school upgrading your training simulators, the Simbay KX165A VHF NAV replica delivers unmatched realism and user-friendly operation. By using a Bendix panel replica, it aligns with industry standards and the real-world flying experience, helping pilots build consistency and confidence.
This panel bridges the gap between virtual flight and real world navigation radio operation—making your simulation setup not only visually authentic but functionally advanced.
Some might worry about compatibility or whether replicas truly add value. The detailed printed circuit board (PCB) with clear IDC connectors and the downloadable data sheet directly addresses these concerns by ensuring hassle-free installation with precise pinouts and connections. Its sturdy construction resists wear from extended use, promising long-term dependability.
Plus, the carefully chosen warm white backlighting combined with the sharp red display enhances readability in various lighting, eliminating common frustrations faced in cheaper or less accurate panels.
Ready to make your home cockpit or flight school simulator as close to the real thing as possible? The Simbay KX165A VHF NAV replica is your key to authentic avionics experience that feels just right.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Electronics are available as complete packages or individual components. When selecting a color or type, you will receive the specified quantity of the chosen product.
PCB Only: Includes just the bare PCB. You can order components separately.
PCB + Electronic Components: Includes a blank PCB plus all necessary components for you to solder.
Soldered PCB: Fully soldered and tested by us. Ready to connect to your controller board and program.
