Editorial verdict

feiko

Left-handed version of the CDT-Aeromax. Ideal for southpaw pilots, Airbus captain side-stick setups, and 6DOF space HOSAS pilots wanting premium metal cam feel on the strafe hand.

Pros

  • Full left-handed ergonomic grip on compact metal cam-and-spring gimbal
  • Can mount up to 2 optional throttle lever modules on each side
  • Adjustable dry clutches for non-centering translation control in space

Cons

  • No twist axis (see LZ variant for twist rudder)

Great for: space_hosasairliner

Skip if: You fly right-handed flight sticks only

    Left-handed variant of the compact all-metal cam and spring stick. Excellent option for dual-stick HOSAS.
