Welcome to Hangar 45!
Hangar 45 has been created as an International Club for Learjet 45 simulator builders. Rather than focus on full-size flight sim building as a whole, our goal here is to provide a club-atmosphere for those that have decided to build and simulate one of the most famous aircraft ever built… A Learjet!
As a club, we showcase our members and their projects and invite you to learn even more about their projects by visiting their dedicated websites at the links provided by them under the FEATURED PROJECTS page.
Hangar 45 also serves as a virtual hangar for Lear-specific information for home flight deck builders. Here you will find information that will help you build 1:1 scale components for your project, get advise on Air File tweaking and have at your fingertips the information needed that will get your Lear project off the ground in good time. We also offer a Forum for our users to discuss Lear-specific issues and ideas that may otherwise get lost on other ‘general hobby’ forums. You can visit our Forums HERE.
Purpose and Mission:
The Purpose of Hangar 45 is to provide a place where those who share the common interest of building a Learjet 45 home simulator can interact with each other in a central location. Information sharing is key to a project of this magnitude! Our goal is to make Hangar 45 the central hub for members and visitors to research their Lear building ideas, locate hard to find parts and to showcase their projects all in one place. We also openly encourage our members and visitors to seek out additional sources of helpful information and to participate in other forums as well as our own in an effort to always expand our cumulative knowledge base.
The overall Mission of Hangar 45 is to help our members build the very best Lear45 home built simulators possible with common tools based on the knowledge and information found here without spending a Governmental fortune! Anyone can have a flight simulator built with unlimited funds, however, several of our members here have been able to achieve their goals on a shoestring budget which is another reason why what we are able to accomplish is so impressive! As our simulators come on line around the world, we will see more “in person meetings” and comradery among our members while sharing Lear specific sim ideas!
