The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke & Switch Panel is Honeycomb‘s flagship yoke, a complete flight control system for simmers, flight students and pilots who want a realistic general aviation cockpit at home. It combines a full-size yoke with an integrated switch panel, so the controls you use from engine start to shutdown sit right in front of you. It is the natural centre of a Honeycomb setup alongside a throttle quadrant and rudder pedals, and works with Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane 11 and 12, and Prepar3D. This is the PC and Mac version of the Alpha; a separate Alpha Flight Controls XPC version exists for Xbox.
The yoke offers a realistic 180° of rotation on a solid steel shaft running in dual linear ball bearings, for smooth and precise control. Its damped, self-centring mechanism has no centre detent and a minimal deadzone, so small corrections in pitch and roll feel natural and effortless. The handles are fully equipped: the left handle carries an 8-way POV switch, two vertical 2-way switches and two programmable buttons, while the right handle has two horizontal 2-way switches plus a small and a large programmable button, giving you quick access to trim, views and other functions without letting go of the yoke.
The integrated switch panel brings master, alternator, avionics and light switches together with a 5-position ignition switch for pre-flight checks and engine start, all with red LED backlighting for excellent visibility during night flights. The Alpha connects over USB-C with the included USB-C to USB-A cable and ships with a dual mounting solution, a yoke connector cable and six rubber caps. Compared with the Alpha Flight Controls Lite, the Alpha adds the full switch panel, the ignition switch and more advanced handle controls, making it the choice for experienced simmers who want the complete cockpit experience.
