In my case? I prefer a collective with a throttle axis and I would pay the extra 100€ to get one.īut, again, that is my own, personal choice. In the end, it’s a matter of personal choice. This may be something you want to take into account as well. Helicopters such as the Huey do have a throttle on the collective lever. The Ka-50 is one of those helicopters, as is the UH-60 Black Hawk or the SA342 Gazelle, for example. By having a better understanding of what both do, perhaps will help you in making a decision.īut do keep this in mind: some helicopters do NOT have a throttle axis on the collective. Please do watch it if you have any doubts about how it works. I am also embedding it here for your convenience.

If you are not completely clear about how helicopter controls work – and, in this case, the difference between a throttle and a collective – you can watch this video I have done some time ago explaining just that. I can’t tell you that (it’s your money after all) but I can at least let you know why a throttle is handy. I have seen folks asking if it’s worth paying the extra 100 Euros to get the extra axis. Perhaps people really don’t see any use in having a throttle. At the time this review was published the VPC Rotor TCS Base costs 185.91€ and the VPC Rotor TCS Plus adds 100€ to that and it’s sold for 289.95€. Well, some factors may come into play here. Why go with the non-throttle version when you have the throttle one? Or vice-versa? Before we start: to throttle or not to throttle? We can get the simpler VPC Rotor TCS Base, which provides you with only the collective axis, or the VPC Rotor TCS Plus Base, and, in this case, you’ll also manage to control the throttle.īy the way, I have reviewed (or, better yet, previewed) the non-throttle version of the base, the VPC Rotor TCS Base with the SharKa-50 grip. As the company continues to work on other options, we already have a choice to make when it comes to the base. VIRPIL has released a few helicopter-dedicated hardware recently and, unsurprisingly, we get to select some combinations to make it more to our liking.

But if it is, I will obviously say so as well.

If something is not right, I will call it.

But, rest assured, I will be completely unbiased and totally honest with both you and VIRPIL. Let's start with the disclaimer: the only reason why this crazy batch of reviews are possible is because VIRPIL sent me a ton of stuff for me to try.
