Authentic control for your helicopter cockpit

With this grip, you get numerous control elements exactly where you need them – on the grip arm. This makes controlling the rotor, landing gear, weapons, and systems easier directly during flight.

The quality of the mechanics and materials ensures you can fully focus on the simulation without technical limitations.

Thanks to the layout and equipment, you get a feel very close to that of a real helicopter collective. Whether training, mission, or free flying – this grip gives you genuine control in the cockpit.

Choice of materials & workmanship

The grip combines a robust metal handle with rubberised surfaces and a reinforced PU plastic base – you can feel this from the very first grip. The many buttons, switches, and hats are solidly built and convey a premium impression – not like cheap toy hardware.

Even with intensive use, the feel remains high-quality and controlled – important on long rotor flights. The workmanship is well thought out and made for serious sim pilots.
