PC Pilot magazine recently included a large article about these products and Aerosoft has signed up to provide European technical support. I'd like to think that both of these looked into the company before proceeding. Why not wait and see what actually happens? i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3

January 18, 20188 yr Alpha Flight Controls introduction video is out: https://youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=FrIOj69dd50 Looks good!
February 14, 20188 yr I would really like to see this release. Lower cost Yokes right now basically leave two options, CH or Logitech(Saitek). James
February 16, 20188 yr The parent company already makes gaming chairs, keyboards, mice, controllers, etc, under the SnakeByte name. Also Zoopa Drones under license. That experience should help get this product out the door when it's ready.

February 19, 20188 yr Well I too would really like to see these.... it gas been a while in development. I hope the wait is worth it.
March 3, 20188 yr By not being out already they are missing the boat on the tax return disposable income many simmers use for upgrades and new purchases. James
March 3, 20188 yr Nice web site construction and appearance! But been way too long without news! Not good for business. Is this destined to be vapor ware? Was it trolling to cost other suppliers sales? Time to show your hand!

Was it trolling to cost other suppliers sales? Time to show your hand! I've been wondering as well. FWIW, their Facebook page just got the 1st update since the end of January. It shows the owner traveling to Hong Kong to "transition from prototype to mass production." Here's hoping! https://m.facebook.com/FlyHoneycomb/ Andrew Crowley
March 4, 20188 yr Author Moderator Things looking very promising. They always targeted Q1 2018 as the release period and whilst it may slip to April/May I have no doubt the yoke and throttle quadrant will be available in the next few months.

March 6, 20188 yr Author Moderator That looks like very good engineering to me. I hope they stick to their original plan to sue Hall-effect sensors and not pots.

March 6, 20188 yr Shows a 100mm Bourns slide potentiometer (PTF01-152A-103B2?). But the advertised pitch travel on the FlyHoneycomb website is 6" 150mm?? I also wonder how they are going to route the wires through the shaft. FlyHirundo Rudder Pedal and Yoke Designed and manufactured in Switzerland Email: [email protected] Website: under construction
