Looks like the reverser on Throttle #1 of my Honeycomb Bravo no longer works.  The throttle lever works, the button when put back into the detent works but pulling the reverser lever and no signal.  All others work.  Any options to fix this?  If not I guess I will either have to move the throttles over 1 or fake it and just use one reverser for both.

Apparently, this is a known issue with the honeycomb bravo, the wires break after some period of use and I have to be re-soldered and reconfigured in order to fix the problem.  There’s a video on YouTube on how to do this and I will make an attempt to fix.

Oh Boy Mark, That looks quite the job !

I hope mine doesn't end up like this. I guess we are all starting to see why some of these flight sim peripherals are so reasonably priced, they have to save money somewhere!

Good luck and let us know how you make out.

I agree big job to fix. I have had my Bravo since 2020 and would expect it to last more than 4 years. My CH Throttle lasted something like 20 years with way more use.

Hey Mark,

Just a thought, recently I came across the Honeycomb Airbus throttle levers on sale at Canada Computers for $39.99, I grabbed them straight away. With these the reverse thrust works differently to the stock Boeing levers, I no longer use the reverse detent as all I do now is lift up the reverser levers then push the throttles forward to get the desired amount of reverse thrust I need.

Is it the reverse detent that is no longer working on yours?
