I believe that in time all orders will be filled.

I think that you all should rest assure that your yokes will be coming.

...

Hopefully after Iris gets all of its existing orders sorted out they will continue to except new ones.

...

I pre-ordered almost a year ago, and my yoke finally arrived yesterday

If you got in on the pre-order or Kickstarter prices, then you got a very good deal.

 

I don't want to take the edge off your review because I'm sure you mean well, but with all due respect you should stick to reviewing the yoke. You have no idea if Iris will fulfil the remaining orders, nor have you given any reason why you think we should be confident our orders will be coming. And Iris has said it is getting out of the manufacturing business in favour of R&D as a result of this, so it seems unlikely that they will be accepting further orders until a suitable licencing deal is struck for someone else to manufacture them.

 

As for having ordered a year ago, I paid for my Kickstarter yoke over 18 months ago and for my shipping nine months ago. Since then I have not received any personalised communication from Iris. Such information as I have had is second-hand and was discovered through other channels. I still have some confidence that I will see a yoke eventually, although that confidence wanes with every passing day that Iris refuses to make any public statement about the situation. I can only conclude that if they were to offer any honest public statement it would be worse than we think. Whether I receive a yoke or not, I have no real confidence in the product support I will undoubtedly require before it works properly, let alone to fix it if it breaks.

 

So yes, it looks like a great product and it would be a steal at the Kickstarter price if it arrived, if it worked and if Iris were going to be around to support it.

Hi guys,

 

I was lucky enough to receive my Iris yoke a couple of months ago, a perfectly working example with the default resin handle. As you can see from my earlier posts in this thread.

 

Due to a recent change in circumstances which has allowed us to pay off our mortgage early and following my recent promotion at work, the bank manager (wife) has given me the go-ahead to start building my full scale 737 cockpit in one of our spares bedrooms; I knew I married her for a reason!

 

With this in mind I will be investing in a 737 column type yoke (ACE 737 yoke), which will render the Iris surplus to requirements.

 

I'm just testing the water here to see if there is any interest from someone wishing to purchase my yoke; if I can't sell it for a decent price I will just hang on to it for occasional desktop flying of other non-737 aircraft.

 

Initially I am offering this a UK only due to postage costs and my own laziness regarding the sending of large packages internationally - this may change if I cant sell it within the UK.

 

If indeed there is any interest from UK based persons, please feel free to get in touch with offers on the yoke; and please no silly or unrealistically low offers as I'm certainly not desperate to sell.

 

Cheers

Apologies for bumping on an old thread.   But I am looking for owners who are willing to discuss profiles via FS-Force that drive the IrisDynamics Yoke.

For the sake of history, Iris ultimately shipped out units to 100% of the original Kickstarter backers.   Most got units of the second generation design.   They offer the yoke on Aircraft Spruce now.   Regarding customer service, I recently had a problem flashing updated firmware to the yoke and got super fast responses.   Solved the problem quickly in time for a weekend of practice in the A2A C172 Trainer.

This is the aircraft that I fly to support real world PPL training.   Any assistance on FS-Force profiles by Iris owners, especially the A2A Cessna, would be greatly appreciated.
