Page 6: Assembly
Assembly Assembly requires two healthy and capable persons to complete successfully. Place all parts of the flight motion simulator in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. All tools for assembly are included within the packaging. Before proceeding, read through all the assembly steps and identify the fasteners that will be used at each step.
Page 7 1) Assemble both Frame End Supports as shown below. Adjust Screw Feet to middle of their adjustment. Slide both Frame End Supports onto Main Frame. Slide Frame End Supports to the ground ensuring to be careful so as not to scratch the finish on the Main Frame. Align both Frame End Supports perpendicular to Main Frame and tighten two clamp screws on each end securely.
Page 8 2) Attach Joystick Mounting Plate and Joystick Controller to Main Frame as shown below. Ensure arrow on Joystick Mounting Plate is pointing forward as shown below.
Page 9 3) Attach Joystick Assembly to Main Frame as shown below.
Page 10 Main Frame Assembly should look like picture below when completed.
Page 11 4) Next we will assemble the Roll Frame. See below for an image of the completed assembly.
Page 12 5) Install clamp bolts and nuts at all four clamp locations on assembly. Do not tighten at this point. See below.
Page 13 6) Insert the two Mid Roll Tubes into Front Roll Tube Assembly first. Leave screws loose. Next slide Rear Roll Tube Assembly onto exposed ends of the two Mid Roll Tubes. Ensure Mid Roll Tubes are completely inserted into clamp sections of mating tubes, both front and rear tubes, before securely fastening the clamp screws.
Page 14 7) Roll Frame Pivot Bearings will be installed next. The procedure is the same for both the front and rear Pivot Bearings. Use the large bolts and the brass bushings. Ensure notch end of black Pivot Bearing is against the hole in the tube as shown below in second picture.
Page 15 8) Now we will hang the completed Roll Frame within the Main Frame Assembly. This step requires two people as both Pivot Bearings must be inserted at the same time. Ensure Pivot bearings are fully inserted into the Main Frame tubes.
Page 16 9) Next we will assemble the Pitch Frame Assembly like shown below.
Page 17 10) Assemble the right half of the assembly as shown below. The left half is assembled in the same manner. Leave fasteners loose so as slight adjustments can be made while installing the seat and the assembly into the Roll Frame.
Page 18 11) Once the left and right assemblies are together they can be joined together by the Hanger Brace. See below. Once again leave the fasteners loose so that the holes on the seat can be aligned with the holes on the mating assembly. Thread four nuts onto the four eyehooks and screw into the assembly as shown.
Page 19 12) Now the seat can be attached to the assembly. See below.
Page 20 13) Now we can hang this assembly within the Roll Frame. See below. Use the same brass bushing and large bolt that were used on the Pivot Bearings. Ensure the brass washer is placed between seat hanger bushing and Roll Frame bushing. This washer is nesecary to prevent wear and to ensure smooth fluid motion.
Page 21 14) Once the parts are all assembled all of the fasteners that were left loose can now be tightened. The completed assembly should look like the picture below.
Page 22 15) Step 15 will install the Rudder Pedals into the Monitor Mount. See below. Insert Rudder Pedals into Monitor Mount. Top of Rudder Pedals must go through the large opening in the Monitor Mount first. They will then slide forward and up into the opening. Using the eight long screws, matching nuts and large diameter washers attach Rudder Pedals to Monitor Mount.
Page 23 16) Attach this assembly to the previous assembly. There are eight fasteners, four/side that will attach the Rudder/Monitor Mount Assembly to the extended arms from the Seat Assembly. Only four of the bolts will require nuts as the forward nuts are integrated into the Rudder/Monitor Mount Assembly.
Page 24 17) Attach the Joystick Assembly to the Rudder/Monitor Mount Assembly with the four screws and the nuts. Position in the center of the slots. Once the assembly is completed these slots can be utilized to center the stick for level flight. Once this adjustment has been made and the stick is centered, tighten the four screws and install the Cover/Stop as shown in the second image below.
Page 25 18) The final steps are listed here. Attach the throttle and Throttle Mount to the Roll Frame. See below. Customer supplied monitor can now be attached to the assembly using the enclosed monitor mount screws. These screws are slightly longer than the stock screws that came with your monitor.
Page 26: Initial Set Up
Initial Set Up Once your Dreamflyer is assembled carefully double check all fasteners to ensure they are installed and tightened correctly. Carefully re-read all the safety precautions located at the beginning of this manual. Great care must be taken while getting into the cockpit on your new Dreamflyer. It is best to step onto the floor in front of the seat, behind the joystick.
