Thanks Frank. After my experience with NZ firm PB Tech I think any advertised stocks are a good chance to be vapourware at this point. Annoying because I’m not sure there is a throttle quadrant out there other than Bravo that is versatile enough to cover both GA and Commerical?

Hi, I had a further look and this is what Aerosoft says on their international Website.

Also they have a sale going on until tomorrow (Bravo for 189€, would be 309 Australian dollars) and as per their site they are shipping worldwide. You would have to ask for shipping fee and taxes.

The decision is yours :wink:

Thanks @FrankO7109. I placed an order with Aerosoft - shipping was a horrendous 129 EUR but with the sale discount it’s only marginally more expensive than the New Zealand order would have been. Not going to get too excited until I have confirmation it has shipped but they accepted the order so hopefully all good this time.

my current recommendation are the Turtle Beach Velocity One. Solid build quality (better than it looks on the pics and far better than their Yoke/Throttle combo). Many unique features:

  • GA and airliner pedal option
  • toe brakes
  • adjustable width
  • metal base and other several other metal parts
  • adjustable resistance with different springs (removable for heli flight if you want)
  • hall effect sensors
  • self centering but only a miniscule detent in the middle position that you proably won’t feel with the feet

I’m extremely happy with them after testing the CH, TM TFRP and the Logitech/Saitek. Since it’s in the same price range as the Charlie would have been, I think the Turtle Beach are the better package.

@BuzzJungle I hope it will work out well for you :slight_smile:
@MrWoof9575 Yes, these pedals are the reason I am considering a change to Turtle beach. Because I am on Xbox they are my only chance to use pedals at all.

Oh, by the way… after cancelling my order and listing the Charlie Pedals as not available at all the german amazon has now set June 27th 2024 as the new delivery date. Go figure… :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I was actually able to order the Bravo through the German Amazon link you provided. $299 USD including shipping.
