I have a bravo and 3080 on order. I should be up and running by fall of 2022.

[@JMsoo]

Ah ah ah feel the same....

[@1BYEBYE1]

Exact same here

[@Fantaman900]

bravo on pre order, 3080 I will order later

[@therocinante3443]

3080.. Big ooff

[@benjfpv.]

I got the week one order and is using it right now!

[@koolhoven6342]

"hey siri, can you, die?" "i cannot" is this the next terminator film?

[@martindixon54]

To be fair, Squirrel couldn't do a worse job than Hollywood did with Dark Fate...

[@TheMack]

LOL! Yeah, Apple-branded terminators, extinguishing all competing life forms =)

[@Marvelous0419]

you have to take out my batteries

[@Hadri.S]

@@Marvelous0419 Hah, no.. just leave it Turned on for 5 minuts, it will run out of battery in almost 3 min...

[@cosmicwartoad2587]

I thought my HOTAS joystick was a beast!

[@Mrv1960]

No comparison to the Alpha Yoke.

[@scottypimpin4212]

which one you got?

[@Willy-xu8fe]

lol😅

[@TransistorBased]

For arcade stuff maybe

[@ThepurposeofTime]

Vs Virpil?

[@joostvisser8537]

The way he lifts the yoke up from the handle is giving me chills

[@jamesdoublet4203]

What time is he doing this

[@noahstabler3561]

Lol at 0:52

[@hook86]

Why? Won't harm a thing... It can handle yer meat beaters twisting it around, it can handle being lifted by the yoke. I own that yoke and it's a whole different ballgame then cheap junk like the Saitek

[@joostvisser8537]

@@hook86 idk man, these things are precision instruments. I don't feel like the shaft and the mechanism that holds it/takes the position and rotation readings are designed to hold the weight of the entire back section. I won't be surprised if taking a wrong turn while you hold it like that will result in the mechanism breaking or bending in such a way that the readings become inaccurate

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

@@joostvisser8537 yea id agree with you as well

[@beaumotion6692]

The levers on the base are actually there to lift and break the seal of the suction pad if you're not using the clamps. Great first look tho! I'm so stoked I actually managed to order one!

[@kwccoin3115]

I never able to fix it without the thing going out. But the fs2020 setting and the starter break the software ... it is on the ground for my flying last whole month.

[@mokumkat]

You're absolutely right, don't use the levers for anything else other than to release it from the sticky Scotch M3 surface.

[@ChrisVirgilio]

I didn’t know that! That’s a huge saver because that pad is SO sticky!

[@flyinghazard467]

Squirrel’s “Hey Siri,” activated mine lol!

[@TexRobNC]

It's hard not to want this, even if I know I'd do it no justice as I'm such a rookie pilot, it's a work of art.

[@burntacid3825]

completely same here, such an awesome piece of kit.

[@benp9442]

Same, will wait though so firstly I have money to spend on such an investment and they are more available

[@Bob-Jenkins]

If you're having fun, you are doing it justice. I'm a Sim Racer and I thought the same after I bought a Direct Drive wheel, but I was grinning like an idiot every time I used it. Now at times when I pull off the best lap, or rally stage time I laugh my head off promoting quizzical glances from my GF and endless mocking.

[@xeldinn86]

@@Bob-Jenkins How do those direct drive wheels feel? Do they feel realistic?

[@Gryphon1-1]

I'll have to add this to my dream on list.

[@thorgrimharryson2329]

same :(

[@rochmel1409]

Me too!! :-) :-)

[@Wodz30]

Thank you for actually measuring the throttle! The dimensions are not even listed on Honeycomb's own website! SUPER HELPFUL

[@cowboy10uk]

Really pleased to see the unboxing vids finally starting to come out for the throttle. I’ve had one on order since Dec 2018, think I pre ordered it day one when it came onto the Aerosoft website. Was lucky enough to use a alpha build of the throttle at Cosford last year and I can state it was one of the best home throttle setups I’ve ever used, and that trim wheel was actually the best home sim trim wheel I had ever used. Even though it wasn’t connected at all to the yoke, it actually fooled my brain into thinking the pressure was being released from the yoke as I turned it. It truly did feel real and a fully connected flight control system. Hopefully they have managed to keep that feeling into the production model. The only slight issue was the levers moved horizontally when you had hold of them and felt a little cheap, however they did state at the time, they were aware and was gonna try and improve the feel. Fingers crossed they have managed that, and I’ll be intrested to see what turns up in the reviews. However don’t get me wrong, that’s not a complaint. This was still hands down the best throttle quadrant i have ever used in decades of home simming. I really am looking forward to adding it to my cockpit in the hopefully near future

[@Rjay259]

Re. Speed brake lever! Armed is for landing and auto speed brake, flight detent for use in flight, up is when on the ground and uses ground spoilers! Looks great!!

[@Stoney3K]

The speedbrake lever feels a little counterintuitive if you first use it on an airliner, because "down" is the normal flight position, which is all the way forward.

[@shangqijian6655]

@@Stoney3K It sounds intuitive to me: everything forward = go, everything aft = slow down/stop/reverse

[@Stoney3K]

@@shangqijian6655 If you compare it to the flaps it kind of looks weird, because the flap 'up' position is all the way forward. But once you have everything set up, it kind of feels the way it should, because it means 'levers forward = go', 'levers backward = slow down' for all of the levers.

[@Notinserviceij]

@@Stoney3K Fly a warrior, the flaps up postion on the lever is down!

[@brahmsforever4313]

Wonderful video - just received Bravo and had a couple of little issues that you have completely resolved! Thank you!

[@lou2737]

Wow! Such a cool video - makes me wanna get back into sim flying properly! Thanks for the vid!

[@AndrewTowne]

Loving my honeycomb yoke. Can't wait to get my hands on this down the road!!

[@JenniferinIllinois]

I am so jealous! I have had my Alpha for less than a week and I am amazed!!!! It makes hand flying for me so much easier than my old Saitek. LOL @ Siri interrupting you. Cannot do a formal review until November 1 - proceeds to basically do a review. Hehehe... In all seriousness, it looks like a very well thoughtout throttle quadrant. I love the ability to configure the way you want (only thing missing are push/pull TPM).

[@kalel33]

He didn't do a review or else he would have brought up that the lights don't work on it.

[@buikhan]

Please be kind to the trim wheel. My heart is hurting to see you rested the whole unit on it. Lol..

[@eggs1632]

Mg i just want to trun that trim wheel and mess with the gear lever

[@derekraines8175]

Hi there, I’ve listen to countless of your videos and I’ve never seen you before until I watch this video today. Thank you so much for all that you do for people like me who can’t figure out how to do anything. I can solve the Rubiks cube, I can’t fly my flight simulator! Thank you so much.

[@butlerhives7318]

Very professional unboxing video Squirrel! Looking forward to the review video!

[@RCHeliJet]

*I think I have to have that :) Best Thing is the Trim-wheel, thanks Squirrl*

[@ben_and_jace]

My friend is super into planes, so when he came over for the first time I show it to him, and im like “pull it off” and he’s like, “I don’t wanna break it” And im like “just pull it off” so he does. THE WAY HIS FACE LIT UP WHEN HE FOUND OUT THEY WERE INTERCHANGEABLE-

[@dstorm258]

Thanks for the unboxing, Squirrel! My throttle is supposed to be delivered the 47th week of the year, so mid November. I can’t wait!

[@leerose9436]

Great Video ! Look forward to the 1st November review ! The Yoke and Throttle quadrant visually are stunning ! Another Level ! So Cool 😎 ! Happy Landings 👍🙏🏻❤️

[@skyhawk_4526]

Great video! Can't wait to see the hands-on review. This looks like a real game changer! (No pun intended.) Having that configurability in one piece of hardware is fantastic! I already have the Honeycomb yoke and this will definitely be a purchase for me soon!! From the C172 to the Baron to the A320 and B748, this should give a realistic "feel" to them all - and should be fairly easy to set up and save each configuration profile in the sim. I might stick with my Logitech quadrant for single engine GA flights, but the Bravo will be my go-to for everything else.

[@EthanfromEngland-]

This is one of your best reviews yet. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It felt professional but relaxed and even humorous at times. Well edited also. Great stuff!

[@jonodevenport6798]

Not going to lie, that last time I watched a video from this channel was in about 2012-2013 when it was still named DaSquirrelNuts. Nice to see you're doing better than ever Squirrel, keep it up!

[@robk7196]

This thing is incredible. Looking forward to seeing some usage videos!

[@mogumogu3686]

Most thorough and professional reviewer.Loved the review Sir.Keep up the good work.👍👍👏👏

[@Ron_A._Bolton]

Can't wait, I have had this on order for months. Only a couple of weeks :)

[@BillWomack]

Mine was in the week 2 or 3 batch, so it shouldn't be too very much longer now. Really looking forward to it, especially after this vid!

[@JP-fs4cl]

Same here Bill. I am in the week 2 batch. Can't wait to get this!

[@StockportJambo]

Really looking forward to your operational review of this throttle quadrant.

[@BassAnywhere]

Can’t wait for November 1st for the review, I should get mine in 3 weeks or so !

[@djnorth2020]

That thing is massive. 😳 Back in the day of Falcon 3.0, friend got a Thrust Master stick and crafted a regular joystick for a throttle (he later got a real throttle handle). They were heavy, cool things. This is whole another level. Damn nice. 😎

[@darengardner6219]

Mine is due 12th November . Cant wait to use it . Great video .

[@CaptMorgan24]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have been looking for the dimensions of these two units to determine what stand I should order when I place my order for these two units. Most helpful.

[@woutervn]

This must enhance the experience so much. I'm a big fan.

[@kenbarthSimAV8tor]

I really enjoy my pair; will be nice to see Charlie rudder pedals; I also like that you can mount Logitech Pro Flight Panels and/or Logitech Pro Flight Instrument Panels/gauges too! Fly high Squirrel!

Thanks - this video helped me re-pack the Bravo to send it back.

[@smaze1782]

You lucky dog you. I've been waiting for this one for what seems like years. Amazing.

[@LesGainous]

Great unboxing! My only request is that when you do the actual review and hands-on, if you can show your flight and the quadrant in a picture-in-a-picture format. That way, we can see what your are doing with the controls as the flight course/altitude/reversers/etc happens.

[@Dennis-xs9cn]

quality video. pre-ordered and drooling!

[@streamline247]

Wow! Both together look fantastic. I'm Dreaming now.

[@zengrath]

Bravo to you Squirrel for the new Honeycomb. :P

[@sinestesiagaming]

Been looking at this product off and on on Amazon for the last couple weeks as I'm looking for a good replacement for the Saitek system. Looks like it has alot of potential given the range of customisable parts. Can't wait to see your review of it!

[@rochmel1409]

Ah! So that's what you look like! not at all what I imagined from watching your flight sim videos! :-) :Great vid as usual. I don't think my level of usage of Flight Sim warrents me getting such a set up but having watched this the Christmas wish list is being re written !

[@johntulloch5051]

Great video squirrel really enjoyed it. Also really enjoy the merch I brought from your store

[@MonkeyBoy_Prints]

Not sure if you knew this, but the AT disconnect and TOGA button, as well as the thrust reverser are actually functional in game. There are metal contacts on the stick that get the input

I've been waiting for this video. They say "patience is a virtue". I've never had any, lol. So I sold my Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and bought the Thrustmaster Warthog setup. Don't get me wrong I'm totally happy with the Warthog but that Throttle Quadrant would be amazing! Happy flying everyone! : )

[@danwilliamson1846]

Ace review i really want both of these ✈

[@therealpoody7485]

Where is the update, Squirrel? Where did you go!?

[@aaroncramp941]

Just to clarify: The tabs he is talking about on the base plate at 20:35 is NOT to give it a “rake”. YOU WILL RUIN YOUR BASE PLATE. I cannot emphasize this enough. DO NOT USE THE TABS ON THE BASE PLATE FOR LIFTING THE UNIT AT ALL, YOU WILL BREAK IT. They are used for lifting the suction pad off the table a little so you can get the base plate off the table more easily.

[@moustafa_1994]

Nice video and nice throttle quadrant as well, these days you can get an entire airplane cockpit on your desk with all switches and displays, very costly though

[@jimbobsailor]

Having watched him for a few months this guy does not look how I expected! 😂

[@Ochenter]

I really do enjoy your videos, Mister. Here's another Flight simulator enthusiast since Its 98' version. Thanks.

[@pho3nix-]

Can't wait to see it in action!

[@afortyoz2freedom]

The large pad on the bottom of the mounting plate is not an adhesive material, it is a micro suction cup material, so it is not for permanent mounting. Those two levers at the back of the mounting plate are there to assist breaking the suction from your desk surface when you want to take the mounting plate off.

[@jeffb555]

OMG I'm getting mine today can't wait

[@tin2001]

I love that the slots for the levers have covers... My CH quadrant fills up with dust while I'm not using it, where this one - pull the levers off for storage and stick the covers on.

[@fortvaux]

Now that you own both the throttle and the yoke you really need to film yourself using them in all of your upcoming MS FS 2020 videos. I´m sure a lot of people would like to see these in action. :D

[@davidkinorani]

Ahh the thing coming in February 2021! Nice box though!

[@lowrivera]

I have been researching like crazy and I really wanted to go with the Thrustmaster Boeing, but after doing more researcher on the HoneyComb, I think this is the better choice. Only thing I think is missing is the AP knob selector. Ok that's what happens when you comment without watching the whole video.

[@captainzeppos]

That's some amazing review. I particularly liked the part about Logitech/Saitek peripherals like the radio box lining up on top of the Honeycomb, I hadn't heard that before. So I just preordered it from Amazon and I'm also waiting for Ryzen 5600X and Honeycomb Alpha to become available and also 3060 RTX to get released hoping it'll be close to MSRP. My estimate is that I'll be playing by 2022 or so, but that's fine. By that time Asobo will have fixed most of the countless MSFS bugs.

[@mungers88]

[@tallishyeti2756]

The button on the GA throttle is most likely a “go around” button that you click to tell the autopilot and GPS to start the missed approach. (Note, not the same as TOGA, the auto throttle mode for max thrust since auto-throttles are very rare in piston driven airplanes.)

[@cormacpyper]
