Why? Won't harm a thing... It can handle yer meat beaters twisting it around, it can handle being lifted by the yoke. I own that yoke and it's a whole different ballgame then cheap junk like the Saitek
@@hook86 idk man, these things are precision instruments. I don't feel like the shaft and the mechanism that holds it/takes the position and rotation readings are designed to hold the weight of the entire back section. I won't be surprised if taking a wrong turn while you hold it like that will result in the mechanism breaking or bending in such a way that the readings become inaccurate
The levers on the base are actually there to lift and break the seal of the suction pad if you're not using the clamps. Great first look tho! I'm so stoked I actually managed to order one!
If you're having fun, you are doing it justice. I'm a Sim Racer and I thought the same after I bought a Direct Drive wheel, but I was grinning like an idiot every time I used it. Now at times when I pull off the best lap, or rally stage time I laugh my head off promoting quizzical glances from my GF and endless mocking.
Re. Speed brake lever! Armed is for landing and auto speed brake, flight detent for use in flight, up is when on the ground and uses ground spoilers! Looks great!!
The speedbrake lever feels a little counterintuitive if you first use it on an airliner, because "down" is the normal flight position, which is all the way forward.
@@shangqijian6655 If you compare it to the flaps it kind of looks weird, because the flap 'up' position is all the way forward. But once you have everything set up, it kind of feels the way it should, because it means 'levers forward = go', 'levers backward = slow down' for all of the levers.
My friend is super into planes, so when he came over for the first time I show it to him, and im like “pull it off” and he’s like, “I don’t wanna break it” And im like “just pull it off” so he does. THE WAY HIS FACE LIT UP WHEN HE FOUND OUT THEY WERE INTERCHANGEABLE-
I am so jealous! I have had my Alpha for less than a week and I am amazed!!!! It makes hand flying for me so much easier than my old Saitek. LOL @ Siri interrupting you. Cannot do a formal review until November 1 - proceeds to basically do a review. Hehehe... In all seriousness, it looks like a very well thoughtout throttle quadrant. I love the ability to configure the way you want (only thing missing are push/pull TPM).
This is one of your best reviews yet. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It felt professional but relaxed and even humorous at times. Well edited also. Great stuff!
Just to clarify: The tabs he is talking about on the base plate at 20:35 is NOT to give it a “rake”. YOU WILL RUIN YOUR BASE PLATE. I cannot emphasize this enough. DO NOT USE THE TABS ON THE BASE PLATE FOR LIFTING THE UNIT AT ALL, YOU WILL BREAK IT. They are used for lifting the suction pad off the table a little so you can get the base plate off the table more easily.
I've ordered both this and the yoke 2 days ago! I'm so excited! Flight simulator 2020 has cost me so much... I started PPL lessons beginning of October too!
Not sure if you knew this, but the AT disconnect and TOGA button, as well as the thrust reverser are actually functional in game. There are metal contacts on the stick that get the input
Hi there, I’ve listen to countless of your videos and I’ve never seen you before until I watch this video today. Thank you so much for all that you do for people like me who can’t figure out how to do anything. I can solve the Rubiks cube, I can’t fly my flight simulator! Thank you so much.
The large pad on the bottom of the mounting plate is not an adhesive material, it is a micro suction cup material, so it is not for permanent mounting. Those two levers at the back of the mounting plate are there to assist breaking the suction from your desk surface when you want to take the mounting plate off.
Really pleased to see the unboxing vids finally starting to come out for the throttle. I’ve had one on order since Dec 2018, think I pre ordered it day one when it came onto the Aerosoft website. Was lucky enough to use a alpha build of the throttle at Cosford last year and I can state it was one of the best home throttle setups I’ve ever used, and that trim wheel was actually the best home sim trim wheel I had ever used. Even though it wasn’t connected at all to the yoke, it actually fooled my brain into thinking the pressure was being released from the yoke as I turned it. It truly did feel real and a fully connected flight control system. Hopefully they have managed to keep that feeling into the production model. The only slight issue was the levers moved horizontally when you had hold of them and felt a little cheap, however they did state at the time, they were aware and was gonna try and improve the feel. Fingers crossed they have managed that, and I’ll be intrested to see what turns up in the reviews. However don’t get me wrong, that’s not a complaint. This was still hands down the best throttle quadrant i have ever used in decades of home simming. I really am looking forward to adding it to my cockpit in the hopefully near future
I have been researching like crazy and I really wanted to go with the Thrustmaster Boeing, but after doing more researcher on the HoneyComb, I think this is the better choice. Only thing I think is missing is the AP knob selector. Ok that's what happens when you comment without watching the whole video.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I have been looking for the dimensions of these two units to determine what stand I should order when I place my order for these two units. Most helpful.
Not going to lie, that last time I watched a video from this channel was in about 2012-2013 when it was still named DaSquirrelNuts. Nice to see you're doing better than ever Squirrel, keep it up!
Great unboxing! My only request is that when you do the actual review and hands-on, if you can show your flight and the quadrant in a picture-in-a-picture format. That way, we can see what your are doing with the controls as the flight course/altitude/reversers/etc happens.
I really enjoy my pair; will be nice to see Charlie rudder pedals; I also like that you can mount Logitech Pro Flight Panels and/or Logitech Pro Flight Instrument Panels/gauges too! Fly high Squirrel!
The tabs at the back of the base mount is to help remove the base from the table if you use the sticky bottom. That sticky bottom is reusable if you keep it clean (so they say).
The button on the GA throttle is most likely a “go around” button that you click to tell the autopilot and GPS to start the missed approach. (Note, not the same as TOGA, the auto throttle mode for max thrust since auto-throttles are very rare in piston driven airplanes.)
I have the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant now for 4 months. As a XP-11 flyer, I enjoy the ability to work the throttle. BUT only 2 months in using the unit, I started to get problems with the thrust reverse switches. I first were thinking it was my poor ability to interact with the XP11 software. But later I realized the problem was not with the software of the switches in the levers, but the fact that the wires running inside to the controller card were breaking. I realized this when I opened the controller and visually inspected the wires. 4 of the routed wire were all broken. My observation was that the wire they were using is too hard, and during bending would suffer fatigue damage. Realizing this, it was not really possible to solve the problem by doing an exchange of the bravo unit, as this problem is a Design fault, and I would just be getting the same failure in the future. Therefore, I replaced all the routed wires with a thinner more flexible gauge wire and adding additional support at the tight corner bends. After my repair to date I had no more problems with the functionality. I do not know if other users have the same problem? Let me know.
I love that the slots for the levers have covers... My CH quadrant fills up with dust while I'm not using it, where this one - pull the levers off for storage and stick the covers on.
That red button on the throttle, if I’m not mistaken, is meant to be a TO/GA mode. (Take-off/Go-around) found in a lot of modern medium to large G/A and Commercial airplanes, just FYI.
I ordered this from Amazon UK, on 14/05. Originally, it was scheduled for September delivery but it has been put back three times since then and is now due for 09/12. I'm not holding my breath, though.
That thing is massive. 😳 Back in the day of Falcon 3.0, friend got a Thrust Master stick and crafted a regular joystick for a throttle (he later got a real throttle handle). They were heavy, cool things. This is whole another level. Damn nice. 😎
I've been waiting for this video. They say "patience is a virtue". I've never had any, lol. So I sold my Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and bought the Thrustmaster Warthog setup. Don't get me wrong I'm totally happy with the Warthog but that Throttle Quadrant would be amazing! Happy flying everyone! : )
The as you said "little red button" that is the go around button while you landing it just tells atc your going around instead of having to radio it in
You don’t pull the props back (down) to reverse the props you pull them to feather them incase of engine failure. To engage reverse you would have the props fully forward and pull the throttles back through a detent to engage beta
I do find it curious that they used the same housing as the Alpha, because there's nothing but empty space in the rear section right now, instead of having some clamping system on the back panel, like Saitek/Logitech uses.
That was the first question I wondered as well when I first discovered this new throttle quadrant. It's quite unbelievable when I see how well thought out this product is from top to bottom. How could they miss this important part. It really appears to be almost impossible to use the buttons when the levers are fully forward. Or at least it will definitely be awkward to reach them then. And given that, imo, these buttons are ideal to map all lights with, it seems really unhandy. You will operate some light switches while some levers will be fully forward but this setup seems to make this impossible.
Ah! So that's what you look like! not at all what I imagined from watching your flight sim videos! :-) :Great vid as usual. I don't think my level of usage of Flight Sim warrents me getting such a set up but having watched this the Christmas wish list is being re written !
I'd imagine the throttle "red switch" is the Takeoff/Go-around switch. On aircraft like the Q400 or King Air, the TOGA button switches modes for the flight director (and on the Q400, progress the flightplan to the Go Around portion in the FMS) without having to take hands off the throttle as you advance them to go around power.
The idea of Honeycomb Aeronautics to use the sticky Scotch M3 surface is nice, but will only work on an absolutely smooth surface (like a glass or laminated desk) any structure on the surface of your desk will make it insufficient to be used as an alternative for the clamps. In order to use the clamps for my Alpha Yoke I had to make two gaps in the frame of my desk with an angle grinder. Because for my rigid desk the clamps are 1 cm too short unfortunately.
They should make a racing wheel if they havent already. That quick mount system thry have to slide it on and lock it in woukd be cool if you did both racing and flying. Especially if they kept most of if not all the cables the same. Just unplug and unhook the system your using and slide on the other one. Slick as snot lol.
Now that you own both the throttle and the yoke you really need to film yourself using them in all of your upcoming MS FS 2020 videos. I´m sure a lot of people would like to see these in action. :D
Get the old man glasses out. I use to have 20/10 vision and now I have to use reading glasses. Left eye went to 20/40 and right 20/20 now. This throttle looks very good.
Has a bravo and here I am putting rubberbands on my 5 year old Saitek/Logitech yoke and still pissed off that it feels like sandpaper no matter what I do. no worries though, bet there will be plenty Alphas and Bravos up for sale by Jan.
Nice video and nice throttle quadrant as well, these days you can get an entire airplane cockpit on your desk with all switches and displays, very costly though
The red button on the throttle for the general aviation should be the go around button. It should trigger the avionics to guide towards published missed and set flight directors for go around pitch.
I have a bravo and 3080 on order. I should be up and running by fall of 2022.
Ah ah ah feel the same....

Wonderful video - just received Bravo and had a couple of little issues that you have completely resolved! Thank you!

That red button on the throttle, if I’m not mistaken, is meant to be a TO/GA mode. (Take-off/Go-around) found in a lot of modern medium to large G/A and Commercial airplanes, just FYI.
And nvm I saw you just figured it out
Can’t wait for November 1st for the review, I should get mine in 3 weeks or so !

Yep, TOGA - should also disengage the auto throttle when its active (double click from memory)
I wonder how the autopilot section on this will handle the “managed speed” etc on the Airbus?
Not sure of the exact answer but I know they have a set of airbus handles sold separately.
I think that the autopilot will only be good for GA, the airliners it’s probably just better to use the one in the sim.
the red button on the first GA throttle lever is a Go-Around button.
The idea of Honeycomb Aeronautics to use the sticky Scotch M3 surface is nice, but will only work on an absolutely smooth surface (like a glass or laminated desk) any structure on the surface of your desk will make it insufficient to be used as an alternative for the clamps. In order to use the clamps for my Alpha Yoke I had to make two gaps in the frame of my desk with an angle grinder. Because for my rigid desk the clamps are 1 cm too short unfortunately.
