Modern fight sims can be daunting. While playable with a regular controller, you get the best experience with a full flight sim setup. However, not everyone has the space or money for that, and that’s where the Honeycomb Aeronautical Echo Aviation Controller comes in!
“Honeycomb Aeronautical strives to continually innovate, and we’re proud to serve the simulation community with best-in-class hardware. Our continued strategy not only includes a focus on expanding our range, but also in growing our addressable audience via products which reduce the barrier of entry associated with flight simulation. Enthusiasts no longer need a full rig of hardware, and the new Echo Aviation Controller is the ideal entry into flight simulation. The ease of use, plug-and-play nature of the controller, will, we believe, continue to grow our brand through 2026 and beyond.”

A cockpit crammed into a controller?
That’s right, somehow, Honeycomb Aeronautical has managed to cram an entire cockpit into a controller with this unique, one-of-a-kind offering. Designed for PC flight simulation, like Microsoft Flight Simulator, this handheld controller features extra levers, dials, and buttons to control everything from elevator and aileron inputs to throttle adjustments to rudder control, and more.

Key features: Complete flight control!
Here are the key features of the Echo Aviation Controller:
- Complete Flight Control in One Device: Echo combines pitch, roll, yaw, throttle, trim, and core aircraft systems into a single, streamlined PC controller — no separate peripherals required.
- Precision Analog Stick for Pitch & Roll: Smooth, responsive Thumbstick delivers full elevator and aileron input for total aircraft control.
- Four Throttle Levers & Trim Wheel: Independently Assignable Throttle Levers accommodate single and multi-engine aircraft. The integrated Trim Wheel provides continuous in-flight adjustment.
- Rudder Paddle System: Rear paddles move in opposition to simulate rudder input — providing realistic yaw control without external pedals.
- Essential Systems at Your Fingertips: Physical controls for landing gear, flaps, and parking brake streamline your flight experience and reduce reliance on keyboard mapping.
- Compact, Desk-Friendly Design: The Echo Aviation Controller delivers full control in a clean, minimal footprint — ideal for simmers with limited space or those building a portable setup.
Pricing & availability: Soon!
Targeting a mid-December launch, the Echo Aviation Controller will be available on the Honeycomb Aeronautical website for €149.99/$149.99/£ 129.99. While the initial launch is PC/Mac only, console versions are planned for 2026!
