Bell 206 Products
Our range of Bell 206 products have been designed within the context of trying to provide an entire panel-based flight operating system. With this in mind, by incorporating one of our 64Input Boards (which has specifically modified software so as to function alongside the DodoSim FSX206 software) our goal was to provide a means of allowing a simulator to be operated from ‘cold and dark’ without any need of a keyboard or mouse.
This entire system consists of several components: the Overhead Panel, the Annunciator Panel, and the MIP, alongside their associated hardware and software. As each customer’s requirements may be different, however, each of these items can also be purchased both individually and with or
without the hardware etc.
Please contact us to discuss any specific needs you might have.
The benefits of purchasing our hardware and software include the following:
- All of the appropriate alarms and warnings can be interfaced with the annunciator panel
- The annunciator software can be further customised to suit your own parameters
- The function of each switch, pushbutton, knob, and circuit breaker, has already been assigned
- Our supplied hardware can accept an additional 25 inputs and 4 encoders that can be configured as you wish
Bell 206 Main Instrument Panel
Our Bell 206 Main Instrument Panel has been designed around the use of a 22” LCD Monitor (not
supplied) and please also note that the photograph here shows an early version of our annunciator
panel already fitted, although this is actually sold as a separate product. If purchased alongside the
main instrument panel however, we will fit the annunciator panel to the MIP prior to sending. The Fuel
Valve Panel shown in the top photo is also an early version.
The Main Instrument Panel includes the following:
- Functional Encoders (Altimeter, VOR, ADF, HDG, CRS)
- Operational Fuel Valve Switch
- Operational Pushbuttons (Horn Mute, TOT)
- Customised Call Sign (whatever you choose)
- Pre-Formed 6mm Thick Black Acrylic Glareshield

Bell 206 Full Overhead and MIP Wiring Service
If you would rather not wire your own overhead and MIP panels, we now offer this as a separate
service to our customers. Although we supply full wiring diagrams to customers (and offer assistance
along the way via email if it’s required) there is still quite a lot of work involved in doing this yourself.
If you would prefer that your overhead panel and MIP are fully wired and tested in our workshop prior
to shipping however, this is now possible. The charge includes all labour, wiring, and testing.
Bell 206 Full OVH and MIP Wiring Service US$486-00

Bell 206 Customised Avionics Stack
Our avionics stack has been designed as close as possible to measurements that have been taken
from a real Bell 206 helicopter. We work closely with each customer so that each unit is constructed
around the parts that will eventually be used (e.g. Operational COM 1 / NAV 1, ADF, Transponder)
and of course allowances can be made for components that have already been purchased from us or
elsewhere - we just need the measurements of the required holes and spacings etc. so that we can
design the unit around these.
