Stop flying with your thumbs. Full-size cyclic, throttle, and rudder pedals in CNC metal — the muscle memory of a real cockpit, for your simulator, your FPV fleet, and everything you'll fly next.
Full independent review — unbox, build & first flight
Native USB HID — replaces a dedicated joystick, throttle quadrant, and pedal set for RealFlight, DCS & MSFS.
EdgeTX touchscreen radio with internal ELRS 2.4G up to 500mW and 4KM+ range — a complete transmitter, not an accessory.
The 1100-nit daylight-readable touchscreen doubles as your FPV screen — no separate monitor or goggles required to fly.
A comparable PC yoke-throttle-pedal setup alone runs well over a thousand dollars — and it can't fly a real aircraft. The FF10 packs all three into one cockpit, wired and calibrated out of the crate.
Ten years of flying — and I've never once sat in the cockpit.
You stand at the field, neck craned, thumbs doing the work, watching your warbird from the outside. Beautiful — but you're always the spectator, never the pilot. And every hour of thumb time counts for nothing the day you try a yoke, a sim, or a real lesson.
Sit down. Hand on a full-size cyclic, feet on the pedals, throttle at your side — the FF10 puts you inside the flight, building stick-and-rudder instincts that carry into every cockpit after it.
My sim gear can't fly my planes. My radio can't run my sim.
A joystick set on the desk. A radio in the field bag. A monitor for FPV days. Over a thousand dollars of gear — and none of it talks to each other. Every new way to fly means another box, another cable, another learning curve.
One seat replaces the pile: sim controller, ELRS radio, and FPV monitor in a single cockpit — plug into your PC tonight, bind to your aircraft this weekend.
I keep upgrading radios — they all still feel like toys.
Another plastic shell. Another set of pot gimbals that will scratch, drift, and grow dead zones by next season. You've paid flagship prices three times over, and the thing in your hands still doesn't feel like it belongs in aviation.
The FF10 is machined, not molded: CNC aluminum, hydraulic damping, 4096-step Hall sensors. Heavy in the right way — buy it once, fly it for years.
The FF10 is one rig with three distinct missions. Pick the one that matches your setup today — you can always level up later.
Connect via USB-C and the FF10 shows up as a standard USB joystick (HID). RealFlight, Liftoff, DCS, Microsoft Flight Simulator — assign your axes and you're in the air within minutes of finishing the build.
The built-in ELRS 2.4G module (up to 500mW, 4KM+ range) pairs with any ExpressLRS receiver, and the 1100-nit touchscreen doubles as your 5.8G FPV monitor. Stick, pedals, throttle, live video — one seat, total immersion.
The JR-compatible module bay accepts external RF modules — drop in a multi-protocol module and the same cockpit binds to your Spektrum, Flysky, Futaba, and FrSky aircraft just like your regular transmitter. GPS helis, fixed wing, jets — one seat flies them all.
Not a render, not a mockup — the FF10 flying a 300C scale helicopter and an FPV rig.

Contactless Hall sensing means no potentiometer scratch, no drift, no dead zones developing over time. Every stick, pedal, and lever input resolves to one of 4096 positions — precise enough that a two-degree correction on final approach actually happens.
Each control axis carries its own hydraulic damper with a +/– adjustment dial. Tune the resistance and return feel per axis — from a light sim-style touch to a heavier, more aircraft-like response. Maximum throw is mechanically adjustable too.
The cockpit is built from CNC-machined aluminum components on a modular industrial extrusion frame — the same construction used in factory equipment. Carbon-fiber stick shaft, steel deck plates, and a seat that adjusts to your body position. Rated for full adult use.
The head unit runs open-source EdgeTX on a 4.3" 1100-nit touchscreen — bright enough for daylight use. It receives 5.8G analog video, so one screen serves as both your radio interface and your FPV monitor. And it talks: assign voice callouts like "gear down" or "flaps half" so you always know your aircraft's state — even behind goggles.
Thumb gimbals teach thumb skills. Stick-and-rudder builds the muscle memory that transfers — to bigger models, to full-scale training, to every cockpit you'll ever sit in.

The FF10 is a serious piece of equipment, and we want it landing in the right hands. Read this before you order.
The FF10 arrives in a wooden crate as a modular kit. Plan for roughly 2–3 hours of assembly with the included tools — mostly repetitive profile-and-bracket work, no soldering or wiring skills needed. A second pair of hands helps.
An illustrated manual is included, and our step-by-step assembly guide is available in the Stirlingkit User Guide.
Crate size is 74 × 32 × 33.7 cm at 22.4 kg — it ships as heavy freight and arrives in a latched wooden crate. Once assembled, the finished rig measures about 100 × 63 × 86 cm, so plan your room before it arrives.
Tip: wipe down the crate contents after unboxing, as export crates are treated for pest control.

Charging the wrong battery type through the built-in USB-C charger can damage the radio or cause fire. Never charge unattended, never charge a wet or damaged unit, and keep the antenna at least 20 cm from your body during use (FCC RF exposure guidance).
Yes — this is the fastest way to enjoy the FF10. Connect the included USB-C cable to your PC, select "USB Joystick (HID)" on the touchscreen, and the FF10 appears as a standard game controller. Assign each axis (throttle, elevator, aileron, rudder) in your simulator's controller settings and you're flying. No receivers, no binding, no protocol setup.
Not out of the box. The FF10's internal RF is ELRS 2.4G only. To fly aircraft on DSM, Futaba, FrSky, or other protocols, install an external multi-protocol module (approx. $35–$100, sold separately) in the JR-compatible module bay, then select the protocol in EdgeTX under External RF.
If your fleet is already on ELRS, you're ready to go with any ELRS receiver.
Make sure the packet rate and firmware versions match between transmitter and receiver — mismatched ELRS firmware is the #1 cause of failed binds. The official FF10 receiver ships with matched firmware (v3.3.0) so it pairs out of the bag.
Plan for 2–3 hours. The frame uses profile nuts and brackets — each connection is simple, there are just a lot of them. Using a hex bit in a low-torque electric driver speeds things up considerably. The control units (stick, throttle, pedals) come pre-assembled; you're building the frame they mount to.
As a PC simulator controller — yes, absolutely. Plug in via USB and any beginner can fly in RealFlight within minutes.
For real RC flight, the FF10 is best suited to pilots comfortable with EdgeTX/OpenTX and the ELRS ecosystem, or those willing to learn. If you've never configured an open-source radio before, budget some learning time — the EdgeTX and ExpressLRS communities have excellent documentation and tutorials.
The seat position, pedal distance, and throttle placement are all adjustable along the frame rails. Pilots up to roughly 190 cm / 6'3" and 130 kg / 285 lb fit comfortably in the standard configuration.
Check your hardware against the packing list in the manual right after unboxing. If anything is short or damaged in transit, contact Stirlingkit support with your order number and a photo — we'll ship replacements. The radio hardware carries a one-year warranty from date of purchase.
Sim controller, ELRS radio, and FPV monitor — three purchases in one CNC-metal cockpit that will outlast every plastic gimbal you've owned. Fly your simulator tonight, bind your fleet this weekend. Backed by a one-year radio warranty and Stirlingkit support.
