The new bundle combines the Foxtrot Aviation Stick with a customisable throttle system for PC and Mac flight simulation.
Schwerte, Germany — August 2026 — Honeycomb Aeronautical has announced the Foxtrot Takeoff Kit, a new flight-control bundle for PC and Mac users.
The package combines the Foxtrot Aviation Stick with a dedicated Throttle Box. It is designed for users who want a more realistic home flight-simulation setup.
The kit will launch on 31 August 2026 through Honeycomb Aeronautical and Sporty’s Pilot Shop. The MSRP is $179.99.
Designed for Precise Flight Control
The Foxtrot Aviation Stick uses 16-bit Hall Effect sensors and an advanced gimbal system.
These features are designed to provide smoother and more precise movement.
The stick also includes adjustable resistance. An integrated twist-axis rudder allows users to control yaw without separate pedals.
Its ambidextrous design supports both left- and right-handed users.
This makes the system suitable for a wide range of flight-sim setups.
Throttle Box Adds More Cockpit Functions
The included Throttle Box expands the system beyond basic stick control.
It features four customisable levers and several dedicated aircraft controls.
These include:
- reverse-thrust capability;
- an integrated parking brake;
- a landing-gear lever;
- interchangeable lever sets;
- engine switches; and
- programmable buttons and rotary controls.
The system is designed to support both general aviation aircraft and commercial airliners.
The Throttle Box will also be sold separately for users who already own the Foxtrot Aviation Stick.
A More Realistic Home Flight-Sim Setup
Flight simulation hardware has become more advanced in recent years.
Many users now combine software with dedicated yokes, throttles, pedals and aviation sticks. The goal is to recreate more of the physical cockpit experience at home.
Honeycomb is positioning the Foxtrot Takeoff Kit between entry-level controllers and larger simulator rigs.
Its use of Hall Effect sensors is also important. These magnetic sensors can provide precise input without relying on the same physical contact used by some traditional control systems.
Availability
The official Foxtrot Takeoff Kit will begin shipping in the United States through Sporty’s Pilot Shop on 31 August 2026.
Availability may vary by market.
Focus Camera is also offering an earlier retailer-created bundle with the same Foxtrot Aviation Stick and Throttle Box.
Honeycomb says the difference is mainly in packaging. The components may arrive separately instead of as one official retail SKU.
The complete kit is priced at $179.99.
