There are a number of threads on the official flightsimulator.com forums detailing the saga of Honeycomb since FSExpo:https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/is-honeycomb-aeronautics-out-of-business/605220https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/honeycomb-aeronautical-charlie-rudder-pedals/287062 The short version is that it appears Honeycomb is out of business. Their offices in San Diego have been vacated and boarded up and the unit is being listed for rental. Emails are ignored, I have been trying for months to cancel my order without success. And after contacting my card issuer I am too far from purchase to dispute the charge now as full payment was taken at the time of order (Yes, that should have been an immediate red flag - more fool me), so I can no longer do a chargeback and it would seem all but certain that I've lost my money. Been a bit surprised this hasn't been bigger news in the community as I'm sure there must have been many people who ordered direct from Honeycomb as well, and all those customers will also have lost their money, I'd be amazed if the sum taken from simmers is not in the region of tens of thousands of dollars if not more. Absolutely disgraceful company, they have not uttered a word since 7th August 2023 when we were sent this email:"I can confirm we have been working hard behind the scenes to get everything back on track. To that end, in order to ensure everything possible is being done in the most timely manner, I am personally travelling to the production factory push the production team into high gear and get the Charlie's rolling off the line as soon as possible. I can confirm the tooling is ready to go as are the workforce, we just need to ensure that the final components are correct and we not downgrading the quality of the product before we can give the go ahead to start the production line. As I mentioned at the Expo, I would rather face a delay than sell products that contain sub-par components and leave you disappointed with our controls. As soon as I have more news, I will be sure to pass this along to you, and with luck, it will be positive." Not a peep from them since. If anyone thinks they are getting a set of Charlie pedals in 2/3 months I've got a bridge in London to sell you. Edited January 26, 20242 yr by atco URL
January 26, 20242 yr This is disappointing. I've had their yoke for a couple years now and its still working just as good as the day i got it. I was looking forward to trying their rudder pedals as I'm sure they would've brought that quality over with them too. I was very tempted to pre-order before Christmas, definitely glad i didn't now!

Right. I knew my money was lost 3 months ago. Was just wondering why you were repeating Honeycomb's line... Makes me wonder why Aerosoft is still pushing the Charlies. Regards
