The Helicopter Collective Control for Flight Simulators is a consumer-directed product for use in casual flight simulation software. Traditionally, most consumer controls are intended primarily for airplanes rather than helicopters, and therefore the availability of realistic and affordable helicopter specific controls is quite limited. To combat this, we have designed a collective control which is designed to fill this market niche. Our collective control can be powered via a battery or a wired connection, connects wirelessly to a computer to operate flight simulation software, and replicates the look and feel of existing helicopter collectives to provide an enjoyable simulation experience.
