Our profile flight simulator range includes the Trak Racer TR40S Flight Simulator, TR80S Flight Simulator, TR160 Flight Simulator, and more. This gives sim pilots a broad mix of aluminium and cockpit-style options to build around. Whether you are upgrading from a desk setup or building a more serious home cockpit from scratch, this collection is designed to help you find the right foundation.

Why choose an aluminium chassis for flight simulation?

An aluminium chassis is one of the best foundations you can choose for a serious flight simulator. Compared with lighter entry-level frames or desk-mounted controls, aluminium profile cockpits give you stronger rigidity, more precise hardware positioning, and a cleaner path for long-term upgrades.

That matters in flight simulation because control placement is everything. A better chassis helps keep your yoke steady, your throttle where it should be, and your rudder pedals firmly planted. It also makes it easier to build a cockpit that feels more realistic and less improvised. If you want a home flight sim that feels stable, adjustable, and purpose-built, an aluminium chassis is a very smart place to start.

What makes a good aluminium profile flight sim chassis?

A good aluminium profile chassis for flight simulation needs to do more than simply hold controls in place. It should give you the strength and adjustability needed to position your hardware properly and keep the whole cockpit feeling solid during use.

The best aluminium chassis flight sim rigs usually offer:

That is why aluminium profile rigs are such a strong choice for sim pilots who want a more realistic cockpit environment at home.

Explore Trak Racer aluminium chassis options for flight simulation

Trak Racer is one of the most relevant brands in this category because the range covers multiple aluminium chassis flight simulator options, from more accessible home cockpits through to heavier-duty profile rigs for serious sim pilots. That gives buyers a much clearer upgrade path depending on budget, room size, and how advanced they want the cockpit to become.

TR40S Flight Simulator

The TR40S Flight Simulator is a strong entry point for sim pilots who want a proper aluminium chassis cockpit without jumping straight into a larger heavy-duty rig. It suits home users who want a more serious flight simulator foundation than a desk setup, while still keeping the overall footprint and cost more manageable.

TR80S Flight Simulator

The TR80S Flight Simulator is a smart step up for buyers who want a stronger aluminium profile cockpit with more rigidity and more room for growth. It is a great fit for sim pilots who want a more planted platform for yokes, throttles, joysticks, and rudder pedals in a dedicated home setup.

TR120S Flight Simulator

The TR120S Flight Simulator is built for sim pilots who want a stronger aluminium profile cockpit and upgrade-ready mounting. It’s a great choice for dedicated home setups using yokes, throttles, joysticks, rudder pedals, and accessory mounts, with a more stable platform for longer flight sessions and future expansion.

TR160 Flight Simulator

The TR160 Flight Simulator sits at the more serious end of the Trak Racer flight simulator range. It is built for sim pilots who want a premium aluminium chassis with maximum confidence in the structure underneath their controls, especially for larger or more demanding home cockpit builds.

Aluminium chassis vs tube chassis for flight simulation

A lot of flight sim users eventually compare aluminium chassis options with more integrated tube-frame or lifestyle-style cockpits. Both can work, but they suit different buyers.

An aluminium chassis usually offers:

  • more adjustability for control placement
  • easier expansion with side mounts and accessories
  • better flexibility for yoke, HOTAS, and rudder layouts
  • stronger long-term upgrade potential

A more integrated cockpit may offer:

  • a simpler setup process
  • a cleaner all-in-one feel
  • less complexity for casual users

That means aluminium chassis rigs are usually the stronger fit for sim pilots who want a more serious, more configurable flight simulator.

Aluminium chassis for yokes, HOTAS and rudder pedals

One of the biggest advantages of an aluminium chassis in flight simulation is that it works across different control styles. Some users want a yoke and throttle quadrant setup for civil aviation. Others want a centre-stick or side-stick layout with throttle mounts for combat flying or space-adjacent sim setups. A good aluminium profile cockpit gives you far more room to tailor the hardware to the way you actually fly.

That is why this category is especially useful if you are building around:

If your goal is realism and comfort over the long term, an aluminium chassis is one of the best ways to get there.

Why aluminium chassis rigs make sense for long-term flight sim setups

One of the biggest strengths of an aluminium chassis is that you do not outgrow it quickly. A good profile cockpit gives you a stable base now and a flexible platform later as your simulator evolves.

It can grow with your setup as you add:

  • better yokes
  • more advanced throttles
  • rudder pedals
  • side control mounts
  • keyboard trays
  • extra support brackets
  • other flight simulator accessories over time

That makes an aluminium chassis one of the smartest long-term investments for serious home flight simulation.
