CS-2 PEGASUS
The horse of mythology has landed. The CS-2 is a curvaceous upgrade to our very popular CS-1 Stallion design. While the footprint and overall size remains very similar, the CS-2 stands apart in that it is considered more suitable for commercial use.
Like the CS-1, it’s cabin size is very close to that of many Cessna general aviation aircraft, in this case the world renowned Cessna 210. The cabin gives an accurate feel with ideal ergonomics, yet remains comfortable with enough elbow room for long cross country adventures. The ceiling is also high enough to accommodate pilot’s up to 6′-4″ (193cm) comfortably.
The CS-2 is offered in both BareBones kit options as well fully completed RTA and Pro-Line turn key options with all hardware. For the DIY “home builder” however, the main caveat for the CS-2 is that it is only offered as a DIY kit for those few folks who have access or can gain access to a CnC (computerized milling) facility.
Due to the curvaceous nature of the doors, windows, and the front cowling and hood, there is no way this model can ever be built using typical home tools in the way most of our other cockpit models can be (such as the CS-1 Stallion). Therefore purchase of the CS-2 Pegasus is primarily limited to those who either wish to purchase a BareBones kit option, an RTA kit option, or a ProLine option.
For those few folks who have access to a CnC machining facility, the CS-2 DIY “home build” kit option includes all of the actual digital design files which can be immediately used with any CnC toolpathing software of your choice and includes a very extensive DIY builder manual as well 19 folders of pictures taken during the entire construction process. In order to use the included design files you will need a 2D CAD program and or just the toolpathing software for creating the cut files that can be used by your CnC machine of choice. Because everyone’s machine will be different, we do not provide our own toolpathing files, only the design files.
Once again, for the DIY crowd, all design files are included so that you can create the
necessary toolpathing files for cutting out all pieces (save for some vertical wall supports / roof / rear wall, etc) from 6 sheets of
high quality plywood. Two of the six sheets must be
1″ thick for the main walls which contain the doors and window frames.
As can be seen, the windows also include real Lexan plastic for the
ultimate in realism. Every design file comes with it’s own Read-Me text file and each tells you every last detail required for cuts to be made by CnC or by hand.
Lastly, all DIY purchasers must first sign and return a Sole User Licensing Agreement (SULA) which assigns a build number and allows for building just one CS-2 Pegasus cockpit. This is necessary due to the sensitive nature of providing our proprietary designwork in a fully digital realm. These are in fact “the keys to the safe” so to speak. Therefore strict user licensing is required.
Other key options include two different cowling lengths to choose from as well two exterior skin options of either ABS plastic or real Aluminum. Never before has the world seen a cockpit like this which accurately reflects the size, shape, and feel of a real aircraft while also having all the functional necessities that a flight simulator requires, all while not sacrificing any quality of materials or craftsmanship. The CS-2 Pegasus has reared it’s head skyward and is ready for flight.
