Features

  • The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke & Switch Panel is the most advanced flight simulation system available to simmers, flight students, and pilots. The yoke has a realistic full 180 yoke rotation and a solid steel shaft with dual linear ball bearings that provide smooth control
  • The yoke features a dampened, self-centering mechanism with no center detent or minimal to no dead zone. The base includes a Switch Panel with master, alternator, avionics, and light switches, as well as a 5-position ignition switch
  • The left and right handles feature one 8-way hat switch, two vertical and two horizontal 2-way rocker switches, three buttons, and a push to talk button
  • The Dual Mounting Solution allows for full use with or without clamps. The yoke comes with two steel heavy-duty clamps, which you can attach firmly and secure the yoke. For thicker tabletops, a large 3M Micro-Suction Pad that produces 40lbs of tensile strength can be used for a clamp-free solution
  • The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke & Switch Panel was designed and developed in California by pilots and aerospace engineers to ensure the most realistic flight simulation experience possible

Description

Honeycomb Aeronautical Alpha Flight Controls is one of the most advanced yokes currently available for PC flight simulation. It was designed to fulfil the requirements of both flight simulation users and student or full-time pilots. The aerospace grade internal components feature realistic ergonomics for a true flying experience. The high-quality mechanics offer a realistic full 180 turn radius with a self-centering mechanism with no dead zone to control the aileron. Lengthwise, the steel shaft allows for 15 cm of travel. The mechanism is all metal for durability. The Yoke has a switch panel with master, alternator, avionics, and light switches. It is equipped with red LED backlight to easily operable at night. Furthermore, it includes an ignition switch as can be found in piston engine aircrafts. On the left handle you will find two buttons, two 2-way hat switches, and a push to talk button, while the right handle features two 2-way and an 8-way switch as well as a button. Due to suitable mounting points and brackets, the Alpha Flight Controls are compatible with other Honeycomb and Saitek products.

  • Best Yoke ~ or under $250
Edition: Single
Bottom Line Up Front: Excellent product! I think it is much better than the other popular yokes at/around this price point though it's slightly more expensive. I've owned this yoke now for over 5 months and I've used it often. No issues at this point in terms of reliability. Discussion: I've been flight sim guy for off / on 10+ years. There are 4 fairly popular flight yokes that I've seen on the market..CH Products Yoke, Saitek Yoke, Red Bird Yoke and this yoke from Honeycomb--the Alpha. All are good products for flight simulation. The Redbird Yoke is by far the most expensive and is somewhat in another league in terms of what you get--I know these yokes are used in FAA approved flight simulators around the world and are much more expensive than the other 3...but given the FAA credentials may be worth it if you are looking for this. I own the other 3 yokes--hands down the Alpha Yoke is by far the best of these. The Saitek yoke is a good looking yoke and the material feel is good (better quality plastic than CH Yoke). Also, it has more buttons and extra functions like timer, etc....which are useful and handy. However, it has a critical flaw in that there is a detent at center making smooth flight control very difficult for me. The control of sim felt very unnatural compared to flying real airplanes (I started to notice it more when I began taking real world flight lessons--I could not use the Saitek anymore). I then purchased the only other option at the time--the CH Yoke. The CH Yoke feels has a better control feel -- smoother inputs...no annoying detent making it easier to control the sim and better represent real world flying to me. However, the plastics are very cheap feeling texture which does detract from the experience. That said, I used the CH because it did not suffer from the detent issue like I felt in the Saitek which made flying simulator much better for me. Once Alpha yoke came to market, I decided to give it a chance because of reviews from other flight sim users. The Alpha costs ~$100 more than both the CH and Saitek but it is well worth it in my opinion because there is no compromise. It represents the best of both worlds in smooth flight control feel as well as very good construction, very good quality plastics and the price--though higher than CH and Saitek--is worth the no compromise in my opinion and at a price point which is very fair considering what you get. Also the Alpha has greater range of motion (180 degrees vs the other 2 that don't have this). It's just better yoke in all areas over the other two I own. other notes: The mounting is easy but it can be hard to get off desk (depending on your desk material) if installed for a long time due to the sticky material on base of the yoke. However, sticking base is easy thing to prevent (keep the thin piece of plastic protector which comes to protect it on the base and this has helped me prevent to sticking when I want to remove it). All and all this is an excellent product. ... show more

  • Sim Hardware has Come a Long Way!
Edition: Single
After having purchased the CH yoke twice over the last 20 years and two different flight sim home built setups, I had finally grown weary of the plastic and spring technology. CH was durable and did it's job, but it's definitely showing it's age in this day where so many people are putting out superior new tech. Decided to add this to my setup, and you can really feel a night and day difference. Controls are precise and smooth, and the overall feel of the product, it's range of motion, and lack of thick, dated springs is noticeable almost immediately. I got my private pilot certificate five months ago, and have flown over 115 hours in the last year and wanted something to more closely resemble what I would expect to feel in a real airplane. While you'll never quite get an accurate representation - this is far superior to the CH yoke I had been drumming on the last year and a half. It's expensive, but it should last a long time, seems very durable, and made of high end material. Buttons and switches feel a little cheap for the money, but the overall throw of the yoke, and range of motion more than make up for this minor oversight. ... show more

  • Definitely worth it
Edition: Single
Great yoke and love the 90 degree motion for turns. Solid build and quality feel to everything. If you are looking for a real experience, this yoke delivers. I use the 3M Micro Suction pad for mounting and have to frequently remove it to allow for my space to be used for work. The mount works great and I have had no issues with it not feeling secure. So if you can't clamp it down, the pad works wonders (smooth surface needed). However, the only drawback to the suction pad, in my case, is that removing it has created marks in my wood table top. To remove the pad, it has two fins you fold up which apply downward pressure against the surface to allow the suction to start releasing. Takes about 5 seconds to slowly pull up the mount. Keep the plastic bottom cover to place over the pad when not in use. I recommend using a small pile of papers or thin piece of cardboard to help reduce the the damage to your table top if you are using wood and do not wish to damage the finish. ... show more

  • Well worth the price
Edition: Single
If you've ever owned a Logitech or CHP yoke and have been frustrated at the lack of quality, flimsyness, and fine control... raise your hand.... This yoke completely transformed my appreciation of and enjoyment for flight simulators. It feels good in the hand, is sturdy, and has good resistance and consistent sensitivity across all ranges of travel. You actually feel like you are flying an aircraft, with the ability to make small, gradual adjustments and complicated mechanical inputs to guide the flight controls. Read the manual and details on the downloadable software for mapping and tuning the controller. If you don't it will be a frustrating learning curve as the software translates the complex controller hardware into commands the simulator can recognize. Once you figure that out, there is nothing on the market that can touch this yoke for the price they are asking. The quality and construction is very good, and there is no cheap-plastic feel. The Alpha is worth every penny and is easily my star piece of flight sim hardware by quality alone. I'd pay double for it without a question, given the alternatives vs their price points. I can't wait for the Bravo throttle quadrant, and sincerely hope Honeycomb produces flight pedals in the future. Cons: The mount is so good I found my desk and/or chair will move before the yoke base does. ... show more
