Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant

[Agrajag 286]

Anyone have any idea what the delivery schedule means? Week 4 Production? Does that mean four weeks from when it was to ship in October or four weeks from now? The fourth week of production regardless of date?

I can sympathise with the frustration! I previously wrote:

On a side note, I just got an email notification of an unexpected withdrawal from my bank account...

From Amazon, for the amount I paid for my order for the "pre-order" (hate that term!) of my Alpha! Now, since they don't charge till dispatch, and since  they have a lowest Amazon price up to dispatch date guarantee, it must be about to head my way!🤗

Or they've cocked-up and charged me early by mistake.😬 Hope it's the former option!

Sadly, it was neither confirmation of my order being shipped or  an Amazon cock-up - I wasn't aware that Amazon now charge for pre-orders five days after they are placed, which is pretty ridiculous since pretty much anything you pre-order is likely to be more than 5 days away. And it isn't even a pre-order, despite them saying that, as it's a 2 year old product!

So I guess there's not too much of a rush for me to get the Bravo since my Alpha could easily be a further month away. And maybe that's one reason for the Bravo being delayed and 'under-produced' - I expect they've had to ramp up Alpha production since MSFS was released.

4th week = 47th week in the year.

Monday, November 16 – Sunday, November 22, 2020 is the production date.

Thanks. Where's this from?

Anyone want to venture a guess what the news will be from "Seattle" about Honeycomb? 

I'm hoping it's corrected support for the Alpha and direct support for the Bravo.

Any idea when you will do the review?

Absolutely.  I hope to explain the setup and customization.

Did you get your Bravo TQ ? And when can we expect a first review from you ?

I know, I am impatient 😉

I did, two days before a direct hit (Northeastern Eye Wall) of Hurricane Sandy.  The Northeastern eye wall stayed right over my home for 18 hours straight, and after 7 days we JUST got powerl, water and Internet back.  I have been working 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week on disaster relief, but now that utilities I'll do my best to get my review out on the following Monday.  I'm going to be working disaster relief 12 hours a day 7 days a week for the next 90 days, but I'll get the review done.  Best to follow me here on AVSIM or in the Aerosoft forums so you don't have to search for it when I get it done.  That way you'll also be the first to know when it's out.

EARLY impression after 6 hours of use and taking it completely apart:  INCREDIBLE.  Quality control was even more impressive that the Honeycomb Yoke.  That's all for now.

Wow, Dave, sorry to hear about hurricane Sally (not Sandy, I assume). Sure hope all in the family are doing OK. The TQ review can wait a bit, first things first!

Man the unboxing videos for the bravo look amazing. Embargo ends on Nov 1st so finally we can get some reviews on it.

Please don't shout at me or shoot me down fellas, but from what I've seen, the design of this has left a  lot to be desired. I'm happy to be corrected, but why on earth would anyone design a system like this with all the switches and buttons behind the levers.

I'm not sure that anybody would shout at you - pretty much everyone is likely to agree with you. I like the look of it overall, but the lower set of switches could certainly have been better placed. The AP etc buttons maybe aren't too difficult to access.
