Schwerte, Germany – August 26, 2025 – Honeycomb® Aeronautical, a leading producer of professional grade flight simulation hardware, announced today the launch of a brand new product - the Alpha Flight Controls Lite, which plans to bring the joys of flight simulation to a whole new audience of flight sim enthusiasts who are beginning their exciting journey into the skies.
The team at Honeycomb Aeronautical will be introducing a new range to complement their flagship line-up. The Lite range kicks off with the Alpha Flight Controls Lite, a flight control unit that delivers the renowned realism of the original Alpha Flight Controls, but with features tailored for entry level users or those who want an easy, seamless flight experience with minimal distraction from their hardware. The Alpha Flight Controls Lite focuses on essential controls, leaving users to enjoy the skies as the voyage through the clouds.
With no sacrifice on build quality and overall experience, the Alpha Flight Controls Lite is teeming with authentic switches and controls, such as a POV Switch, 2 Rocker Switches, and 4 Programmable Buttons for flexible, intuitive control. The 180° yoke and solid steel shaft allows users to enjoy exceptional accuracy and control with a full rotation for sensitive manoeuvres. With realism that rivals high-end flight simulator equipment, the Alpha Flight Controls Lite also features a precise elevator and aileron response, giving sim pilots a lifelike feel when they take to the air.
Key Features:
-
Authentic Switches and two Programmable Buttons
-
180 degree yoke rotation with realistic elevator and aileron controls
-
Streamlined front grill with less distractions, especially designed for entry level users and modular set-ups
-

Honeycomb Aeronautical also plans to release another product in the brand-new ‘Lite’ range later this year. The Bravo Throttle Quadrant Lite will focus on streamlined design, focusing on essential controls to make flight simulation more accessible and enjoyable.
Michael Auer, CEO for Honeycomb Aeronautical commented, "We’re excited to introduce new products to the Honeycomb Aeronautical line-up that welcome newer flight sim enthusiasts to our friendly community and ensure their transition into experienced pilots is fun and memorable. With all of the quality and precision that users expect from our products, the Alpha Flight Controls Lite is a great product for those new to flight simulators, but also offers a simpler, less hands-on experience for those who may just want to relax and enjoy the flight.”
The Alpha Flight Controls Lite unit is now available to purchase across the globe at the Honeycomb Aeronautical webshop at a price of €199,99 / £169,99 / $199,99.
