Grip based on Sukhoi PAK FA (T-50) grip. Part of new HOTAS and pedal under development, check their web-site. Made in high quality plastic (similar to CH) Warthog compatible.

MongoosT-50 Stick Grip - When design becomes art.

For a very long time it has been the grip that many virtual pilots have dreamed of. Some have tried to create it, but none have succeeded; it eventually became legend.

And now, that long awaited moment is finally here, we present to you the VPC MongoosT-50 Russian fighter jet grip!



Like a sculptor chipping away at marble, we have skillfully worked on our design to create a masterpiece; A true work of engineering art.

Featuring a wide array of controls, including:

• Dual-stage Trigger
• Folding Trigger
• 5 Buttons
• Two 4-way Hats
• Two 2-position Switches
• Analog Brake Lever

The ergonomic design also includes an adjustable wrist rest catering for a wide range of hand sizes, allowing long play sessions without experiencing discomfort.

After enduring extensive testing by experienced virtual pilots across the most popular simulators, we are confident in our design.

The VPC MongoosT-50 stick grip will be released February 2017 at a price of €159,00 which includes the TMW adapter.

Stay tuned for further announcements at the [url=www.virpil.com]www.virpil.com[/url] website.

I would also like to invite all to follow us on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/VirPilControls/


"British brake" lever, analog.

I wonder if they will have a floor mount with the extension for cockpits?

Their extension is this show in pictures, with 15cm, similar to the more length after market existent for TMW.
For a proper cockpit this is sufficient, there pilots sit more low than in office char.
For use in conventional office desk and chair, is need provide a support - same case of TMW - if don't want use their kind of "Monster Tech" support.

If has suggestions about, post there: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3028474&postcount=140

Seems has 8 axis (Windows limit):

2 - Throttle
1 - "Antena"
2 - "TCD"
1 - "T" lever on right side
2 - "Rotaries" knobs

The other 2 rotaries knobs is Encoders.

The lilac square buttons has removable covers, but not backlight.

Looks modern and practical without the usual "F-16'ish", A-10'ish", F-18'ish", SU-ish"... "replica" compromise. smile

Wow, looks really nice. I like the design. Looks also much more solid than the Warthog and has rotaries again. The Warthog has only this abused friction adjust lever as rotary. Not a good solution I think. O.k. the A-10 has no rotaries at the throttle, but it has also no afterburner function (which they implemented, that you can choose).

I never understood why they choose the A-10? Must be a decision for the DCS module only, cause a F-15 or F/A-18 HOTAS had made more sense in my opinion. This way you had another grip to change between the Cougar and the Warthog. Not the same handle again.

I would prefer this HOTAS alot over the Warthog, if I had enough money to spent. It's universal and has all you ever need for flying. It also looks very realistic, not such a "Zombie-HOTAS" like the Rhino (maybe good for SciFi, but not for Combat flying) . I think it's the best one at the moment.

P.S: Just seen the T-lever, which you could use for the AV-8B nozzle controls. This HOTAS is really unbeatable at the moment!

One suggestion: Don't know if there is already a lock between the two levers and I think fingerlifts for the idle cut off and the afterburner stage could be fine.

Any info or hints on the price of the throttle?

It really looks well designed, can't think of anything that it is lacking smile
