Got them from MyPilotStore website. Best I can tell these are the ones from Nicki based on the pictures he put in his response and based on the serial identifier noted by Honeycomb.
First impression is I love em’! Windows 11 picked them right up and Flight Simulator did as well. The only change I made within Flight Simulator was I added a 10% dead zone on the rudder settings.
These are replacing my Saitek pedals which broke a spring last fall (yes…been waiting that long!) on the right brake pedal. Didn’t stop me from flying just had to do a heel-toe scenario for that right brake.
These Charlie’s gotta be twice the physical size of the Saitek, unit vs unit, or pretty close. The USB-C cable was a foot shorter than I needed (of course…SMH) and the only extension cable I had was a 10 footer but happy to report it worked with no issues.
I’ll report back after I have some further fly time if there is anything noteworthy.

Can you post some images, please?
It’s like a sighting of a unicorn.

Glad to hear it, OP. You give people hope.
I may have over-exaggerated the size difference but it’s certainly a physically bigger unit than the Saitek.

What purpose does that grid of lights on the front serve?
To scare passing hedgehogs?

For pilots afraid of the dark?

I wonder if SPAD can control it.

That could be fun. But I’m going to guess that this was a design decision not based on functionality but “does it look cool”. It’s a stretch, but a company having reported financial problems deciding to put lights on rudder pedals seems to track.

I thought the day would never come…
Great to hear they are arriving at last! I ordered originally over 2 years ago and eventually got cancelled from Honeycomb - got the money back and re ordered with Amazon - however that was cancelled too. Reordered in June for August that was delayed till September had a message saying it’s now delayed till October so hopefully that will be the end of this sorry saga! Enjoy!

Worthy of waiting for. Been using them the last few weeks and totally happy with them. Glad I happened to check the site that night!

Probably the same reason they have them on the yoke. They just look cool ha ha.

Hey all, I just discovered this. Great sale. These are as good as my crosswinds rudder pedals at less than half the price. Just saying.
Official Charlie Store on Amazon
Figures…on sale now $60 off. SMH. The price to be first. Side note: Still love these things!
