The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Lite have just gone live on Honeycomb’s website and is now available for purchase.

The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Lite has a design similar to its more expensive version, but does not include the switch panel. Honeycomb emphasises that the Alpha Flight Controls Lite maintains "no compromise on quality”, due to the use of premium materials and precision components to ensure a durable and smooth-running control system. Honeycomb claims that the Alpha Flight Controls Lite provides a “high-end feel” and realistic elevator and aileron control comparable to premium models.

The yoke boasts a near-identical design to the more expensive Alpha Flight Controls. It comes equipped with two programmable buttons and two-way rocker switches on each side, along with a POV switch located on the left side. Additionally, it features a robust steel shaft with a self-centring mechanism, minimal dead zone, and 180 degrees of rotation.

With the yoke coming from an already established company, it offers broad compatibility and features seamless integration with MSFS 2020, along with a practical mapping guide for MSFS 2024.

The Alpha Flight Controls Lite is one of four new products that Honeycomb announced earlier this year at FSWeekend, alongside the Bravo Throttle Quadrant Lite, the Foxtrot Aviation Stick, and the Sierra TPM Module. Honeycomb anticipates launching the rest of the products during Q4 this year.

Our very own Magnus recently attended a press event hosted by Honeycomb in London, where he had the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the Alpha Flight Controls Lite, among other products. Read more about it here.
