Full Features:

• 16-Bit Precision Mechanics – Including an advanced gimbal system with Hall Effect magnetic sensors, it captures ultra-fine inputs for smooth, detent-free movement.
• Integrated Yaw Axis – Built-in twist-rudder control delivers seamless yaw management for single-stick operation without requiring external pedals.
• True Ambidextrous Design – The ergonomic grip accommodates both left and right-handed aviators across general aviation, aerobatic, and commercial setups to give the most comfort during long sessions.

The Foxtrot Takeoff Kit has an MSRP of $179.99.
