At Sun ‘n Fun AOPA and Redbird, along with numerous partners including Flying, launched a new kind of simulator. The AOPA Jay by Redbird is an all-in-one solution for pilots and other flying enthusiasts who want to get up and flying using a desktop sim without having to engineer a system themselves. The Jay, which was designed and is manufactured by Redbird, maker of a lineup of FAA-approved flight simulation devices, is marketed and supported by AOPA. The unit, which goes for $2,495 complete, arrives in a box and can be set up in a matter of minutes. We’ve done it. It couldn’t be easier.
Once you get it set up and plugged into the internet — with a standard ethernet cable or optional Wi-Fi dongle — the fun begins.
