Hey there, thanks for the review! :) Be sure to calibrate in the Windows Control Panel as well to be sure you get 0 to 100 percent usage out of each input. If you don't you may only get for instance 4% to 95% if you understand what I mean. Someone else had the same idea to use the lid as a mouse pad and had me make an extended lid for it. Contact me and I can print and send you one as well.
@@brin57 I am guessing you chose UPS which is more expensive than USPS, but either way shipping from the states to Australia is quite pricey. The quoted shipping price from my website during checkout is my actual cost to ship.
That’s a great setup! Glad you’re using it and I think it will really help proficiency for sure. It’s always good to use all the tools we have available to us to keep our skills sharp and on point. It’s awesome seeing you go through the set up, operation and use. Helpful for sure.
I think it's as good as it can be. You don't feel the actual weight of the trim flap, but you can see the feedback on screen which was amazing compared to using buttons on the yoke. I would definitely recommend it.
+1 for the Honeycomb Alpha yoke and nothing beats the Thrustmeter TPR rudder pedals. As an aside -- If you do most of your flying in VR, you might consider the Thrustmaster Boeing Edition yoke instead. It works/feels great for GA aircraft, biz jets, and the 'heavies'. If you do most of your flying on a flat-screen, then I'd go for the Honeywell Alpha first because of the extra switches it provides. Full disclosure: I have both the Alpha AND the Boeing yoke, I do ALL of my flying in VR, and this is just my take on it! As a VR pilot, if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy the Boeing yoke first, then add the Alpha yoke later.

I'll make sure to check out the calibration in Windows control panel. Thank you.
Great product, but $145 shipping to Australia is a tough pill to swallow.

@@fordtechchris yea its awesome!
how's the trim wheel compared to a real life cessna?

Awesome! Any recommendation for yoke and paddle?
I'm loving the Honeycomb Alpha yoke.
