- This is a stand alone Cessna style Elevator and Rudder Trim Wheel Controller, featuring a 6.9" (175 mm) diameter Trim Wheel with a Trim Indicator. The Trim Wheel is an analog input/axis and has about 7.5 complete rotations for precise adjustments.
- The Trim Wheel Controller also features an additional 10 Rotation Wheel that can be used for whatever you wish to use it for in the sim. In X-Plane this is perfect for Rudder Trim use. Until MSFS 2020/2024 adds an analog axis for rudder trim this is not possible but can be used on any control you wish that can take advantage of an analog axis input.
- Works in Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane (Mac as well) or most any game that can use a controller. Does not work with Xbox or PS.
- Includes Removable Desktop Clamp and Under Desktop Mounting Plate that can be attached with the included 3M VHB double sided tape or with screws to the underside of your tabletop (screws not included).
- 3.5" wide X 7.8" deep X 7.5" tall
- Includes 10' USB cable.
- 1 year warranty.
- Free shipping to the Continental US.
- For International orders price and shipping costs do not include import fees/VAT your country may charge at time of delivery.
Trying to trim the plane using the buttons on the joystick was an exercise in frustration. I could never get the trim setting properly. This wheel makes it very easy. The trim setting can be adjusted very granularly and precisely.
I had an issue with binding the control in MSFS 2020. I contacted Shawn who responded promptly and offered suggestions and I was able to get the trim wheel recognized in MSFS2020. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has been frustrated (as I was) in trying to trim the elevator using buttons on the Joystick.

Every now and then I buy something that turns out to be better than what I was expecting, this controller falls into that category. It's good quality, easy to hook up, and works as it should, (better than anything I've used so far). It is Good Stuff - I recommend this unit and will buy from this company again
It's HUGE, not the small kid toy one would expect. It works plug and play without issue and feels solid.
It comes with a desk mount, or adhesive strips. Function? It feels and looks just like the one in my Cessna 170
and I suppose the only issue I'd have would be a tension adjustment for those with old hands. It's a beast, but you
feel like it is the REAL deal. It also comes with the rudder adjustment which is the main reason I got this over
any other. If you want things to be real, this is AS close as it gets! Buy it!
I bought this to go with my sim setup I use for supplementing my ppl training. I use it along side a motion platform and vr so the added realism is appreciated. It works great though does feel kind of “cheap” in manufacturing. I’ve only used it for about 2 weeks so far and it has held up but am slightly concerned with prolonged use. I do like the multiple mounting options but the 3m tape provided only lasted one flight before it would not hold on any more (remember it is mounted on a motion platform) so I had to devise a new method of mounting it in the proper location. Overall I am sastified with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone.
Hey Gary, sorry for the troubles with the 3M tape, 3M VHB does need some cure time for full strength, I think it is like 24 hours or maybe longer. You do get about half strength up until then and when not in a motion rig even that should be sufficient holding strength. When it does fully cure it will be incredibly difficult to remove, as it holds exceptionally well then. As far as your concern with durability, it is made rather tough and should hold up for a very long time, I designed it to be quite strong, if you do ever have any issues with it just get in touch with me and I will take care of it.
Thanks,
Shawn
