12: YOKE (INTERLINKED)


For the Yoke system, I decided to go with ACE - based on a couple of things.  

One, being quality and Two being affordability.  When comparing the market, I noticed a huge gap in prices, and couldnt physically justify more when the same value was in each yoke.  I also later found out that ACE are down the road from me, aprox 20mins. (bonus!)

I compared Yokes with PFC / FDS and FSC.  FSC we're charging 4700 EUR (converted is roughly $6100) and ACE were charging for a full interlinked system $3600 with on $500 as a deposit to start the work order.

 As you can see in the image above, the VALUE ACE bring to realism they include the items that others charge extra for, such as the YOKE checklist and chart holder.  Made from exactly the same materials as the real 737, this was a huge selling point for me.
 Notice below, the YOKES are using a gas-damper system, not a typical springy configuration, to give a real aircraft feel when pitching and pulling back on a heavy aircraft, the GAS-Dampers work perfectly, on this device.

Setup and configuration is done in easy step by step fasion.  See below for a list of instructions on how to setup from opening the box.  Simple.

All you will be required to do is.

1: Attach both columns to the base. (total of 8 bolts to screw, which will be included)

2: Attach the linkage bar to the columns (total of 2 bolts to screw on)

3: Attach wires to the USB module included.

That’s it.

Gas dampers are only installed for the pitch movement as it require more force. Roll is accomplished with the help of springs and it has proper dampening in place so you don’t get the springy movement. Pitch movement degrees are fully adjustable, you can also adjust forces required and amount of friction (resistance) required.  

You are not required to purchase anything extra.  Everything is included in the one purchase.
