Out of Sim is selling a USB-C helicopter-simulator collective with a swappable 206-style control head, built by hand in Slovenia.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-07 issue.

For: Helicopter flight-sim players
Worth noticing: The analog hat can work as an 8-way hat or bind as two axes for controls such as searchlight, slew, or trim.

Field notes

The product page specifies contactless Hall sensors on both the collective and throttle, rated at 12-bit and described as self-calibrating. The base includes a VESA 100 mounting pad and parts for three angles, while the X1 head’s analog hat can be configured as an 8-way hat or as two axes. The maker says a UH-1-style head is planned for the same base; that is presented as a next step, not an available item.
