About Kenny Nyhus Fadil
Kenny Nyhus Fadil is the publisher behind flightdecksource.com and a lifelong polymath who builds his hobbies from the bench up. His home flight deck in Sweden grew out of a sim-racing rig — same hands, same aluminum profile, same refusal to buy immersion he could build — and now runs yokes, pedals, panels, and head tracking he’s wired and compared himself. He writes about flight-sim hardware the way a builder writes — upgrade order over shopping lists, frame-times over marketing, and honest about which box on the desk makes you a better sim pilot and which just looks the part.
The Deck
The verdicts on this site come from owned hardware layered up through the tiers: a Logitech yoke known to its detents and a Honeycomb Alpha-class yoke as the comparison pair, a Thrustmaster HOTAS for the control-philosophy pieces, entry pedals upgraded to a TPR-class set, a Bravo-class throttle quadrant, DIY button boxes soldered at his own bench, and an IR head tracker as the daily driver with a VR headset for the trade-off verdicts. Under it all: a self-built sim PC, frame-time logged in MSFS 2024 and X-Plane 12 at the settings he actually flies.
The Method
Hardware gets judged by what it does to your hands at hour three of a long-haul, not by the unboxing. PC advice comes from frame-time logs in the actual sims, not synthetic benchmarks. Build documentation keeps the wiring mistakes in. And one boundary is absolute: Kenny is a simulator builder, not a pilot — nothing here is real-world flight instruction, and where real-pilot perspective matters, the site cites pilots instead of pretending.
The Network
Kenny openly publishes a network of niche sites covering the crafts he has lived in — sim racing, workshop builds, electronics benches, and more. Every lesson in this deck was paid for on the racing rig first: aluminum profiles, projector throw, and the soldering iron don’t care which sim runs.
