Description
Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Lite distills the core experience of the original Bravo into a tighter, more focused package. The four interchangeable levers with adjustable tension glide with reassuring mechanical weight, while the integrated low-profile, high-resolution trim wheel lets you fine-tune pitch with fingertip control. From the firm click of the landing gear lever with LED indication to the satisfying pull of the parking brake, this unit delivers dependable input for GA and twin-engine setups without overwhelming newer cockpit builders.
What Sets the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Lite apart?
-
Streamlined Without Feeling Stripped Unlike many entry-focused throttle quadrants that sacrifice flexibility, the Bravo Lite keeps the modular DNA alive. Users often highlight how it maintains interchangeable levers and flap detent customization while shedding some of the complexity of the full Bravo. The result is a compact unit that still supports single-engine and twin-engine layouts, making it appealing for pilots upgrading from basic plastic throttles.
-
Adjustable Tension with Mechanical Feedback The lever resistance can be tuned to personal taste, which makes a noticeable difference during climb power changes and short final adjustments. Many sim pilots mention that the movement feels smooth and controlled rather than loose or springy. Compared to lighter quadrants, the Bravo Lite offers a more planted sensation during throttle transitions, especially when mounted securely with the included dual mounting solution.
-
Integrated Trim and Ground Controls The built-in trim wheel and parking brake eliminate the need for separate peripherals. The trim wheel’s fine resolution is frequently praised for helping stabilize approaches without constant micro-corrections via keyboard or yoke buttons. Add the landing gear lever with LED status indicator, and you get clear visual confirmation during gear cycles—small detail, big confidence boost during busy patterns.
-
Focused MSFS Optimization Designed with Microsoft Flight Simulator in mind, the Bravo Lite benefits from dedicated driver support and downloadable profiles. Users appreciate how quickly it maps in MSFS 2020 and 2024 compared to some generic USB quadrants. At the same time, it remains compatible with X-Plane and Prepar3D, giving it broader appeal than many simulator-specific throttle units in this price bracket.

The Bravo Lite connects through standard USB, making it easy to integrate with yokes, sticks, and rudder pedals from various brands. It pairs especially well with Honeycomb Alpha yokes and other modular cockpit hardware thanks to the dual mounting solution. It is designed strictly for PC and Mac systems and does not function independently without a connected computer.
On the simulator side, it is optimized for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, with dedicated LED drivers and downloadable aircraft profiles. It also works with X-Plane 11 and 12, FSX, and Prepar3D V3–V5 through standard USB HID recognition. It is not compatible with Xbox consoles, as it relies on PC-based driver and USB architecture rather than console-certified firmware.
