Replica of the control stick from the legendary McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet in original size. The control stick is compatible with all Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar and Hotas Warthog joystick bases (sold separately). It was specifically designed as a versatile flight companion and as a tribute to the famous multi-role combat jet of the U.S. Navy, ensuring a unique flying experience—from the runway of an aircraft carrier to soaring heights. With the settings of a fighter jet, targets in the air can be locked on quickly and with maximum agility. As a bomber, the pilot can also monitor and neutralize ground targets using the control stick. The versatility of the F/A-18C Hornet Hotas Add-On Grip allows for a wide range of actions and maneuvers. In addition to the 8-way point of view switch and the realistic 2-stage trigger, the control stick features an impressive array of functions, including two 4-way switches with push-button functionality, a 2-way push-button, and four additional push-buttons (including two pinky push-buttons). The realistic pressure resistance of all buttons on the control stick is the result of extremely precise development work and closely resembles the actual F/A-18C Hornet control stick—from component selection to manufacturing quality. Thanks to its natural integration into the combat jet simulator game DCS (via the F/A-18C module), this control stick opens up unprecedented possibilities to further develop flying skills at any level.
