CBC Interview with LiftTrust in Winnipeg
I've been a Licensed AME since 1972 in Winnipeg and as such been quite familiar with production simulators such as the early Frasca series. I had the good fortune of being able to watch Horst build a custom Simulator for Harv"s Air. The sim he built mimicked the Twin Seneca in every way. I am not a pilot but have flown a variant of this sim as a single engine Cherokee and the realism is astounding! Given the cost of aircraft ownership, renting and the price of fuel this is an astounding alternative.
--Hartley
An outstanding Sim with incredible visuals, realistic flight characteristics and handling. Impressive authentic replication of cockpits to include flight and ancillary controls, instruments, and digital electronic flight information systems. Horst has done some amazing work on these Sims, they are true master pieces. I wish there was a Sim like this in my city to use for my personal flight training and proficiency. These Sims also provide an incredible experience for youngsters interested in flying some day and for aviation enthusiasts who may not have the means to fly an actual aircraft. I highly recommended for these Sims for not only training and proficiency but also some unique family fun in Winnipeg
--Former CF18 Pilot
I went overseas in 1979 and have been flying all over the world as a corporate pilot since then. On one of my holidays in Canada, about a year and a half ago, I had the opportunity and pleasure of experiencing a two hour flight experience in one of Horst's early simulators in his Garage.
It had amazing graphics and realistic feel.. I understand that he has expanded a lot to another location and has many new projects in motion and I am looking forward to go see his progress as soon as I can get get back to Canada. The covid-19 situation is not helping that.
But, in the meantime,I can say that any one who is interested in aircraft simulation in Winnipeg, whether it be for a pleasurable experience in Flying a simulator or for a flight training program of any description, Horst will be able to tailor to your needs.
--Neil
I have had the privilege to try out several simulators built by LiftTrust and found them to include very defined detail and bring the average simulator experience to a higher standard. The combination of realistic visuals with the authentic hardware draws the actual aircraft cockpit environment to a simulated level that is worth the experience. The passion behind each project speaks volumes and goes unmatched. I have flown various aircraft from light single piston aircraft to corporate jets in my aviation career and it is a great adventure seeing this passion within reach for each aviation enthusiast through the simulators built by Lift rust here in Winnipeg
--Tomas
As a licensed private pilot in Winnipeg and having flown a number of Cherokees and Cessnas over the years, I was amazed by the realism and the joy of sitting in the pilot’s seat of the simulator’s cockpit and flying again.
--Robert
Using the flight simulator was a really cool experience and I felt that i learned a lot about flying and planes just from the hour or so I used it. It felt so real and I felt as though I was in a real plane. This is definitely something I would like to experience if in Winnipeg
--Daniel
I did this as part of exposure therapy for fear of flying, so I was a bit nervous before doing this. It was so much fun, and I can't wait to do it again! Horst was a great instructor, making sure I wasn't too nervous, and explaining why we feel certain things while flying. I highly recommend trying it if you are in Winnipeg
