Replica of the control stick from the legendary McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet in original size. The joystick is compatible with all Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar and Hotas Warthog joystick bases (sold separately). Designed specifically as a versatile flight attendant and homage to the U.S. Navy's famous multi-purpose fighter jet, it provides a unique flying experience - from the runway of an aircraft carrier to lofty heights. With the settings of a fighter jet, targets can be aimed at in the air at lightning speed and with maximum mobility. As a bomber, the pilot can also use the control stick to monitor and neutralize ground targets. The versatility of the F/A-18C Hornet Hotas Add-On Grip allows a wide range of actions and manoeuvres. In addition to the 8-way Point of View switch and realistic 2-stage trigger, the joystick has a wide range of impressive features, including two 4-way push-button switches, a 2-way push button and four additional push buttons (including two pinky push buttons). The realistic pressure resistance of all joystick knobs is the result of extremely precise development work and is closely based on the real F/A-18C Hornet joystick - from component selection to manufacturing quality. Thanks to its natural integration into the DCS combat jet simulator game (via the F/A-18C module), this joystick opens up unprecedented possibilities for developing your own flight skills at every level.
