Our journey began in the skies, with a love for flying that started young and never left. Gliders gave way to piston engine planes, and with every hour logged, the thrill of aviation deepened. But as exhilarating as flying is, it can also be challenging. Staying current, practicing emergency procedures, and making the most of every training hour became not just a necessity but a responsibility.

That’s where flight simulation stepped in. The incredible realism of modern simulators opened up a world of possibilities, but there was a missing piece. Managing avionics and switches with a mouse felt clunky and far removed from the real cockpit experience. It became clear that simulation needed better tools – intuitive, versatile, and affordable hardware that bridges the gap between virtual and real-world flying.

And so, CockpitCrafters was born, with a mission to enhance the way we fly at home. At its heart is the belief that simulation is more than just a hobby – it’s a way to learn, practice, and stay current. Every product we create is driven by a passion for aviation and a commitment to making flight training accessible to everyone, from seasoned pilots to dedicated flight simmers.

Our team is a blend of expertise and creativity. With deep roots in the aviation industry and professional product design, we craft hardware that’s built to last and designed to impress. From concept to prototype, to marketing, to the final assembly, we aim to handle everything in-house. Whether it’s designing, testing or photographing and packaging our products, we pour our hearts into every detail.

We began with our Standard and Pro Touch Brackets, followed by the launch of the Octavi IFR1 Bracket – a milestone that kickstarted our operations in earnest. These products were designed to integrate seamlessly with popular peripherals like the Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo. Today, our production chain is ready to scale, and exciting new standalone products are already in the works for 2025.

Beyond the products, the CockpitCrafters experience is about community. The aviation and flight simulation world is tight-knit, and we’re proud to be part of it. Whether it’s attending national and international fairs or simply connecting with customers, every interaction inspires us to keep innovating. Few moments compare to seeing our products in the hands of excited customers, walking the fair with a box of CockpitCrafters hardware they just couldn’t wait to take home. Another unforgettable milestone? Seeing our first YouTube review go live. Watching someone showcase our work to the flight sim community was not just exciting – it was beyond rewarding.

Looking ahead, the vision is clear: creating even more universal solutions that grow with pilots, simmers, and enthusiasts. Innovation is at the core of everything we do, and we’re committed to raising the bar with each new release. From the packaging to the labelling of the screws and tools, every element of a CockpitCrafters product should reflect quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

We’re more than just a business – we’re a (very) small team of passionate aviators, creators, and problem-solvers dedicated to bringing the skies closer to home. Whether practicing crosswind landings, mastering emergency procedures, or simply enjoying the thrill of flight, our mission is to make your home cockpit as immersive and rewarding as the real thing.

Let’s take flight together.
