Cyclic Controllers
for Bell 206 type helicopter simulators
The Bell 206 type cyclic has the advantage of being able to place most of the working parts under the seat base, only the stick and grip are exposed. The cyclic controls shown below are meant for Bell 206 simulator builders that can install them appropriately under their seat base. The controller needs permanent mounting under a fabricated flight deck seat base structure with Bell 206 scale measurements. The controller has to be installed in an enclosed seat base to protect the parts and wiring from damage and anchored to the simulator floor with four screws or bolts.
These cyclic controls can be combined with my collective controller (and/or pedals) and share a single USB interface. When combined as a set, the USB interface module and each controller are wired with Molex type pin connectors to allow a fast and easy cable connection of each installed component.
