Honeycomb Aeronautical Announces Bravo Throttle Quadrant Revision 2 with New Interchangeable Levers
By Matt Henderson · · 2 min read
Honeycomb has unveiled the Bravo Throttle Quadrant Revision 2, featuring interchangeable lever sets for general aviation and airliner configurations. The update also includes upgraded internal sensors and improved compatibility with MSFS 2024.
Honeycomb Aeronautical has announced the Bravo Throttle Quadrant Revision 2, an updated version of their popular throttle quadrant that aims to improve flexibility and precision. The most notable addition is a set of interchangeable lever modules that allow you to switch between a GA configuration (single lever with mixture and prop) and an airliner configuration (two throttles with auto-throttle detent). The levers snap in and out easily, and the unit includes detents for reverse thrust and a notched idle position.
Internally, Honeycomb has upgraded the hall-effect sensors to provide smoother axis movement and greater resolution, which is especially noticeable when fine-tuning thrust during approach. The new version also features an improved detent mechanism that provides a more tactile click at the idle and TOGA positions. For MSFS 2024 users, the Bravo R2 is fully supported out of the box, with built-in profiles for the Fenix A320, PMDG 737, and the default Cessna 172.
We had a chance to test a pre-production unit, and the difference in feel is immediately apparent. The levers glide with a satisfying friction, and the interchangeable modules make it easy to adapt the quadrant to different aircraft. The build quality is as solid as ever, with a metal faceplate and rugged plastic housing. The Bravo R2 is expected to ship in September at a price of $299.99, with pre-orders opening soon. For simmers who fly both GA and airliners, this is a compelling upgrade.
