The functionality of the Yoke is excellent, and the price point is great.
- By Thomas D. from Richardson TX USA on Thursday, July 09, 2020
- Pros: Very well made product and it contributes greatly to the realism of flying.
- Review: As a real-world student pilot, I must admit that the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke and Switch Panel meets my expectation. The functionality and realism of the yoke during rotation and climb out is excellent, and it performs beautifully in the flare and landing phase. The area in which it lacked, to an extent, was the difficulty of configuring the various switches on the panel. Some switches worked perfectly, and others presented a challenge. Overall, I would highly recommend buying the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke and Switch Panel. I would actually give it a rating of 4.5 Stars.

yoke is fine, switch panel not so much
- By C H from Moselle MS USA on Tuesday, February 11, 2020
- Pros:
- Review: The yoke gets 5 stars. The minor problem with the yoke is the pitch control. It takes a lot of effort to push the nose down. The main problem is the switch panel. It should have been momentary switches instead of toggle switches. You can't look at the position of the switches and tell whether it is on or off. Sometimes you have to flip the switch twice to get it to position you want. The master battery switch has a glitch. You can be flying along and battery power will go off. The button doesn't move, the power just goes off. To correct this problem I erased the data in the yoke input software. Now the switches(also did this for the master alternator)don't work and the problem is solved.

Review:
This is a purely an amateur review and I have not had a chance to use the yoke extensively. I can't compare it to the expensive yokes because I can't afford them. It is much smoother and more accurate than my CH yoke.
The mounting was very easy, I didn't have to glue the back half down to keep it from tipping forward and when you get the Throttle, it will be easy to move. This Yoke has exceeded my expectations. My only problem was the view hat is on the left and I was used to it being on the right. But that was a very small problem that I am quickly getting used to and I think that I actually like it better.

No Yoke about it.
- By Shayne from Sherwood Park AB Canada on Wednesday, January 22, 2020
- Pros: Realistic feel and layout.
- Review: I am a recreational Flight Sim aficionado. For a number of years I used the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke and I thought it was the best. Don't get me wrong the Saitek is a wonderful flight yoke and has served me well. When the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke hit the market I ordered one. Well what a difference. The new flight yoke actually feels like you are doing something. There is a tension within the unit that offers resistance to the inputs when flying creating a more realistic Flight Sim experience. Pilot friends have tried it and were very impressed with it's realistic feel. The controls are smoother to operate. The layout of the buttons resemble the real thing. Great product.
