outlawal2 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Any news on the Huey and KA-50 cyclics and Collectives? Also, anyone out there using one of these yet? If yes how about a review for all of us salivating out here? "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO
KomodoSim Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 No news on the Huey Collective or KA-50 stuff just yet, but the Huey cyclic is ready, it's just simple change in the cyclic shaft. We are just getting some orders out of the door at the moment and also having a few printing issues that are causing some delays. We are also trying to feet ready for a show at Weston next weekend. So we haven't had much time for development on new stuff. But hopefully that will change in a month or so. Follow our Facebook page for updates and on twitter!!

Griffin Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I received your pedals, thanks! I don't have a home cockpit so I need to make a separate stand for them. I'm trying to achieve as natural sitting position as possible and having a bit hard time. You said that the pedals are modeled according to some real helicopter pedals. Could you tell me the approximate seat height from the floor in such a helicopter? I feel like I have to put my legs quite high to reach a natural position.
KomodoSim Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 Hi Griffin, They are roughly modelled from a B206 JetRanger. I'm not at home at the moment so can't measure the seat height. It doesn't have to be a set height, as long as you are comfortable that's the main thing. What ever position you need to have you heels on the ground with the balls of your feet resting on the pedals. The most important thing tho is to have your heels touching the ground, you don't want to be resting you while foot on the pedal.

Griffin Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Ok my Ikea MDF stand works pretty well. Luckily I had a couple of pieces laying around. I had to buy fixed height feet for the stand and so I was worried. Finished it off today and I can rest them between my toes and the balls of feet. Some adjusting will be required but I took them for a spin. They were precise, smooth and flying the Ka-50 without any dampers was a breeze! For the Huey though, I'll tell you later. :D I'll sure forget about the bloody Saitek pedals quickly but time will tell if these are worth the buck. :) You also have done nice job refining the design from the picture on the first page. Might do a mini review later on. Thanks for support Rich!
