Hey thanks for stopping by! I was having a problem with my Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant, maybe you've got the same problem. It was mounted too high on my desk. It seemed unnatural for the throttle levers to be up at the same height as my Alpha Flight Yoke. Even worse, I kept slamming my hand into the levers when I would reach for my mouse, which had to be over on my right side since the Bravo was up on my desk. I was eventually going to break those levers. Not good.
To be fair, the mounting system on the Honeycomb Bravo is very good out of the box, but it is designed to mount above whatever surface you mount it to. For me, that was just too high.
The product that completely solved my problem, for what I consider to be a steal as far as price goes, is an under-desk mounting solution that can be used for both the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke or the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. Just wait until you see the difference that it made!
The mounting system arrived quickly after I ordered it, in a very nice high-quality box, with eco-friendly packing material, and a nice thank you card with a message on the back, from the seller. There were three mount pieces that were 3D printed, and a bag with six screws.
Adding the mount pieces was simple, you will need a small Allen key or a hex wrench. The first step is to remove the six screws on the top of the Honeycomb Alpha or Bravo. I recommend saving them, in case you ever want to go back to the stock mount, or sell your Honeycomb product.
Next, use the screws that came with the mounting system to attach the three mount pieces to the top of the Honeycomb Alpha or Bravo. These screws are a little bit longer than the stock screws. I found it easiest to screw the screws into the mount pieces first, all the way until they started to go into the recesses on the the mounts. Then position the mounts with the screws going into the holes on the top of the Honeycomb, and screw them in.
The center mount piece has to face the right way to keep everything steady, be sure to attach it so that the bottom part is facing the Honeycomb Alpha or Bravo, like this.
Finally, use the clamps that came with the Honeycomb to attach it, using the mounts on the left and right. My desk is kind of curved on the front, made of glass, and has a metal bar underneath it - but it all worked out just fine.
Look at that, what a difference! Now my throttles are much lower like they should be, and I noticed it's much easier to see the warning lights on the Bravo, and generally easier to reach all of the buttons and switches. My mouse is back where it belongs too. Happy Days!
So to review, here's the before shot, from the beginning of this video. I also had the General Aviation levers installed at that time.
And here's the new and improved setup with this great under-desk mounting system for the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant! That's the dual-engine Commercial Aircraft lever configuration. I also lowered the Logitech G13 keyboard on the left side, using a universal controller mount.
So where can you get this amazing under-desk mounting system? I found it on the website Etsy. Just go there and search for Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo Under Desk Mount, and this one should come up.
