Description
The Honeycomb Bundle (Yoke & Throttle) brings two essential flight controls together, giving your home cockpit the satisfying mechanical feel of a proper aircraft flight deck. The Alpha yoke's 180-degree rotation and 15 cm shaft travel provide generous movement for hand-flying, while the Bravo throttle's configurable single- to four-engine layouts accommodate everything from piston aircraft to commercial jets. With USB connectivity, flexible mounting options, and support for major PC flight simulators, this combination is built for pilots who enjoy switching aircraft. Because flying a Cessna and a Boeing shouldn't require two entirely different desks.
What Sets the Honeycomb Bundle (Yoke & Throttle) apart?
-
Generous Yoke Movement for Hands-On Aircraft Control The Honeycomb Alpha yoke offers 180 degrees of rotation and 15 cm of shaft travel, providing substantial movement across both steering and pitch inputs. This gives pilots room to make gradual adjustments during approaches while retaining enough travel for larger control movements. The physical yoke arrangement also makes aircraft handling more intuitive for pilots accustomed to traditional control columns. Compared with compact joystick setups, the combination of rotational movement and linear travel offers a distinctly different way to manage pitch and roll.
-
Configurable Throttle Layouts for Multiple Aircraft Types The Honeycomb Bravo throttle supports configurations ranging from single-engine aircraft to four-engine piston and jet setups. This versatility is particularly useful for pilots who alternate between general aviation aircraft and commercial airliners. Instead of purchasing a separate throttle unit for every aircraft category, users can adapt the control arrangement to suit different engine configurations. The ability to change layouts also makes the bundle appealing for pilots who enjoy exploring several aircraft types rather than concentrating on a single cockpit.
-
Flexible Mounting for Established Flight Simulator Setups The Honeycomb Bundle supports mounting arrangements associated with Honeycomb and Saitek products, providing flexibility when organizing a desktop or dedicated cockpit. This can be particularly useful for pilots upgrading an existing flight simulator rather than building an entirely new setup. Positioning the yoke and throttle independently allows users to arrange their controls around available desk space and other peripherals. Mounting compatibility should still be checked against the specific brackets, clamps, and cockpit hardware being used.
-
Broad Simulator Support with Configurable Software Integration The bundle supports Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane 11, and compatible Prepar3D versions, covering several established PC flight simulation platforms. The Alpha yoke can operate in X-Plane 11 without additional configuration software, while the Bravo throttle benefits from the Honeycomb Config Tool for complete supported functionality. This distinction matters when configuring aircraft-specific controls, particularly for complex throttle arrangements. Pilots can create different control setups for different aircraft, although compatibility and available features vary between simulators and operating systems.

The Honeycomb Bundle combines the Alpha flight yoke and Bravo throttle quadrant, with both devices connecting to a compatible computer through USB. The yoke provides 180 degrees of rotation and 15 cm of shaft travel, while the throttle supports configurations for different aircraft engine arrangements. The bundle can be incorporated into desktop or dedicated cockpit setups using compatible Honeycomb and Saitek mounting arrangements. Individual mounting brackets and cockpit frames should be checked for physical fit before installation.
The Alpha and Bravo can operate alongside separately connected rudder pedals and other PC flight simulator peripherals, allowing pilots to assemble a more complete control setup. The throttle's configurable layouts accommodate single- to four-engine piston and jet aircraft, making it useful across different aircraft categories. The Honeycomb Config Tool is required for full supported Bravo functionality on Windows and macOS, while Linux functionality depends on the simulator and available configuration methods. The bundle is not intended for direct Xbox or PlayStation use.

The Honeycomb Bundle supports Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, X-Plane 11, and compatible Prepar3D versions, with its strongest integration centered on PC flight simulation. The Alpha yoke works in X-Plane 11 without additional configuration software, while the Bravo throttle uses the Honeycomb Config Tool for complete supported functionality on Windows and macOS. The bundle supports a broad range of piston and jet aircraft through configurable throttle layouts, although individual control assignments vary by simulator. Xbox and PlayStation are not supported, and older platforms such as FSX and Prepar3D v3 fall outside the stated compatibility range.
