DOF Reality H3r 3-Axis Hero Motion Platform (Heli)
Ships internationally, factory-direct from the manufacturer. Import duties/tariffs (typically $214–$500 on motion platforms, less on accessories) are billed separately by the carrier at delivery and are the buyer's responsibility - they are never charged at checkout. Questions? We'll walk you through your total cost before you buy.
Helicopter configuration. Factory-built for helicopter sims with rig geometry suited to cyclic, collective, and anti-torque pedal setups for DCS helicopters and similar titles. Same motion engine as the racing build.
Overview
The DOF Reality H3r is the helicopter configuration of the H3 chassis. Three axes (Pitch, Roll, Yaw), but with the rig geometry, mount points, and orientation needed for stick-and-throttle flight or combined-use cockpits.
The Yaw axis on the H3r is what flight sim users feel most strongly: rudder input, weathervaning in crosswind, helicopter pedal turns, and adverse yaw on prop fighters all become physical sensations through the chassis. Pitch and roll handle climb, dive, bank, and bank reversal.
Built since 2014 by DOF Reality in Ukraine with commercial-grade European steel. The full platform moves as one piece. Stick, throttle, rudder pedals, and seat all travel together, so feedback transfers through your body the way it would in a real airframe.
Key Features
- True 3-axis full cockpit motion (Pitch, Roll, Yaw). Yaw is the defining flight axis: rudder, weathervaning, adverse yaw, helicopter pedal turns.
- Universal cockpit geometry. HOTAS mount points, rudder pedal rails, combined sim use out of the box.
- Same motion engine as the H3 racing build. 86 deg/sec across 20 degrees of motion at 0.7G transverse. 25 N/m torque per motor, 750W peak.
- SimRacingStudio license included. Full flight library plus 145+ racing and rally titles.
- Holds 150 kg of pilot weight on commercial-grade European steel.
- Klarna and Affirm financing available at checkout.
