  1. Scubaguy

    I purchased my Honeycomb ALPHA Yoke System recently and immediately fell in love with the feel, look and the ease of set-up with my existing flight sim software.

  2. Bdub11886

    Defiantly one of the best flight sim yokes on the market! Smooth feel and looks amazing!

  3. Pilot

    Better than the LOGITECH PRO. No dead spotLike the Logitech had I like the switches and buttons it gives it more realism.I would recommend is highly/

  4. MK14ER

    “I think it is safe to say that Honeycomb has easily met my expectations and quite possibly even exceeded them. For the price, it is by far the best yoke I have come across. Build quality is superb and the mechanics feel robust so I see no reason why it won’t last for years. On top of that the combination of precise and weighty control input provides an excellent flight experience.I have no hesitation in awarding this a score of 98% Great job!”

  5. Ops47

    Finally upgraded from my Saitek Pro-Flight yoke which lasted over a decade, but was beginning to show its age.

    The new honeycomb is so much more advanced and has a true aircraft yoke feel to it. The entire unit is solidly built (no cheap plastic here) and I have faith it will last me through the next decade and beyond.

    On the CH products one, the was a ton of stiction* in the pitch direction. The roll axis was fine. There was a centering control for pitch that also had a ton of stiction, and giant movement once you got it to move. (it mechanically centered the pitch axis.)

    The pitch centering is non-resistant on the Honeycomb, but I use one of the two thumb switches for yaw trim (or 7 and 1 on the keypad). The pitch motion of the yoke is totally smooth. The centering spring is probably heavier than I would have chosen, but at least it moves smoothly.

    Front to back, it takes a LOT more space, so be sure you have room to mount it. I had to remove some stuff from my desk to make room for it. The mounting knobs below the desk also take up a lot of knee room. I finally got it positions so that my knee isn’t constantly hit it as I move my rudder pedals. I guess the screws are extra long to accommodate both normal and extra thick desks. Too bad they don’t have one for normal desks and one for thicker mounting needs.

    The panel switches work well. The software doesn’t know whether they are on or off. Only when they change position, up or down. One has to remember to turn them off before stopping (in my case) P3D. Perhaps FS 2020 when it comes out will work better in this regard. The leftmost thumb switch I use for xxx the next on I use for pitch trim. The upper right thumb switch I use for roll trim and the lower one for yaw trim.

    The documentation that comes with it is pretty poor and doesn’t mention the pretty nice software it comes with for mapping the switches to actions in P3D (the have another one for X-Plane). That works quite well once you know about it. Unless you want to make changes you only have to run it once. I do it before I start P3D.

  7. VermontAviationGuy

    Everything about the yoke is fantastic. Setup is very easy and it mount securely to my desk. In my personal experience there is next to ZERO dead zone. Would certainly recommend this for anyone looking to upgrade or buy.

  8. Hollow

    I have used the Honeycomb yoke for a while now and let me start with the fact this thing drives like a dream. Every move you make is very precise and I highly recommend this yoke for any beginner or advanced pilot

  9. TechNeck55

    I previously had one of those all plastic CH yokes that I got for about $140. This Honeycomb yoke cost about $100 more but is so much better in construction. It’s heavy and feels high quality, not like a toy. You can also turn the yoke a full 180 degrees. Everything about this unit is of good quality, including the switches and buttons. Honeycomb Aeronautical is doing a great job upping the game in the flight controler market. The other companies like CH, Saitek and Thrustmaster should start to worry…

  10. Lalolopez

    this is by far the best yoke I ever bought super good quality and just for $250 this product feels like a $1,000 yoke.

  11. Maddog

    Let’s get the ugly part out of the way. Yes, $250 is a lot of money especially with the economy the way it is. But if you can afford it this is an awesome yoke. I bought it specifically for Flight Simulator. It is so smooth and Flight Simulator is already programmed to recognize the yoke making it very easy to use.

  12. Mike

    Purchased this to fly GA in MSFS 2020 and it is perfect. At this price point the quality is really good. The top of the unit provides a nice base to place a keyboard or other control panel on top.

  13. David

    Very high-quality yoke but it didn’t work with war thunder and I’m not sure it’s worth the price

  14. khanair

    As a pilot, this yoke is as real as it gets (at this price point). Feels great, buttons are handy.

  15. Stacula

    Best mid-range (under $800) yoke in the industry!!

  16. Flightsim

    Great quality and smooth! Can’t wait to complete the set w/ bravo and Charlie

  17. Derf

    Probably one of the best purchases I have ever made in my life, right behind food and water…

    Seriously, if you are on the fence of going cheaper or getting this, this is the best option, great value for money.. I unboxed it, plugged it in, got familiar with what the buttons were bond to, and 18 seconds in to flying a 152, I fell in love, simply the best thing you can buy for flight sim…

    Huge fan with the weight of the spring in the yoke, gives a good sense of forcing the planes a direction they dont want to go..(nose up/down)

    Do secure it to a desk or table that will not move, lighter tables you will push/pull over. One set up we used a 5 gal paint bucket on a portable plastic folding table,l…

  18. Rv6a

    This is a definite MUST have if you want the most realistic experience with your fluid sim! The bearings are absolutely amazing

  19. 1srmgr

    It came with no instructions, well paper instructions. It would have been helpful to read before hand, what each switch did.

  20. MovieLover

    A must for MSFS 2020! Get one soon to enhance and enjoy the more realistic experience of flying. Pair it with the Bravo for an even realistic experience. Highly recommended.

  21. Amazing

    Good quality. Plenty of switches. The only issue I have with it is the installation. The clamps are either too big or too small for the desks a have. I wish honeycomb offers different clamp sizes.

  22. BruceLV

    Awesome yoke, very configurable and very well put together. If you are into Sim flying this is the yoke for you.

  23. Tommy

    These are the most amazing flight controlls I have ever used. Made with high quality materials and works very well!

  24. GlennJ

    I bought this for my daughter who is starting flight school. We paired this with the Microsoft flight simulator. She loves it

  25. ThomasP

    This is a outstanding simulation control very easy to use.

  26. BobC

    You get what you pay for. The Alpha Flight yoke does not disappoint. High quality craftmanship. I truly like the feel of the yoke in my hands. The extra switch assortment works well. I like the dual magneto ignition switch. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a realistic and quality product.

  27. LukeB

    Really great quality and easy to set up. Packaging was very protective and it arrived all in one piece and undamaged. It was plug and play out of the box with a USB-A to USB-C cable and everything feels high quality
