Honeycomb Aeronautical has released yet another product on the hardware market. This time, it’s the Echo Aviation Controller. The new all-in-one controller features pitch, roll, yaw, throttle, trim, and more into a single handheld unit.
The concept of the Echo Aviation Controller is to blend all styles of flight controls into a single gamepad experience. There are Hall-Effect sensors for the flight controls, four sliders for throttle, flaps, and mechanically linked pedals on the back of the unit for your rudder controls. Furthermore, there is a trim wheel, flight levers (gear, brake, and flaps), and a range of system buttons.
The controller is designed for PC and can be used either wirelessly or with a USB cable. If using wirelessly, there is up to 15 hours of battery before you need to charge to Echo Aviation Controller.
Included is a travel case and a selection of swappable components for your throttles, meaning you can change between airliner and GA-style. You can read about the controller from our hands-on at FSConference earlier this year.
You can buy yours from Honeycomb for £129.99 (inc tax) / $149.99 USD.
